[@stevenbfine]

The Wizards are looking to trade Kyle Kuzma and NOT Deni Avdija. Would the Knicks be interested in Kuzma?

[@EDTheOneable]

Deni is great and still developing man. We would have an awesome wing combo OG and Deni backing him up.

[@leelaor6201]

It ain't gonna happen, the Knicks have nothing value enough to give, OKC already offered the Wizards much better deal but the Wizards turned it down... There is a big list of NBA teams who have big interest in Deni Avdija like the Pelicans, the Grizzlies, the Cavaliers, the Lakers and so'... Anyhow Avdija needs to be a starter and having the ball in his hands which is totally not fitting your suggestion!​@@EDTheOneable

[@arusinov]

If you think that Wizards will agree to trade Deni for the price of bench player you're completely delusional

[@mrvk39]

I don't see Kuzma fitting in.

[@mrvk39]

I would be very interested in Brogdon IF he is waived and comes on veteran minimum. But we don't need him on a multi-year contract when we are already pressed for cap space if we start resigning people. Caruso is more interesting but we have more pressing needs among forwards and bigs. I like JB/Donti starting and like Duce and Burks coming off the bench. I am concerned about Mitch and OG being very injury prone and having solid backups.

[@ab-hv8qs]

Knicks don't need guards. Knicks has working 3 men rotation at guard position with Brunson, Mcbride, and Donte. Knicks just need to bring Rokas for insurance on bench. What Knicks need is a wing and a big.

[@operadoc]

They need a bench point. Mcbride isn't a point

[@EDTheOneable]

Deni would be a great backup for OG but I the Wizards have no reason to trade him unless they get a haul.

[@ofershinar6889]

o.g would be great beckup for deni

@@ofershinar6889?

[@operadoc]

We need to cut bait with bog and try and trade mitch if we sign ihart for apron reasons. Then we need backup point and an efficient shot creator, backup big

[@Julian-sl4we]

Hey Alex, hey Gavin, hope all is well gents. So here's my question would edey or Dunn fit better and have more of a feasible way to achieve playing decent minutes (aound McBride's threshold or so) this year or next under thibs? And what is the likelihood of us moving up to secure dunn... As i prefer him to the former. Thanks guys great pod as always!

[@LockedOnKnicks]

We can def answer this on an episode soon, thank you for the Q!

[@Julian-sl4we]

@@LockedOnKnicks thanks guys, def appreciate the constant grind and analysis Go Knicks!

[@locoman888]

I want the Knicks to sign Jokas J. to back up JB at point then trade Mitch to sign I. Hart. Then draft and keep your 3 picks for development.

[@CH-lx5pb]

Go get Jonathan Isaac

[@Oldschulplaya]

Hey guys, Alex C would be nice for us.

[@ratherrapid]

Grossly overrated

[@Oldschulplaya]

@@ratherrapid Top defensive player in the League, not overrated.

[@ratherrapid]

@@Oldschulplaya suggest watch a few games, and report back

[@Oldschulplaya]

@@ratherrapid What do you mean? Alll defensive teams, in college and the NBA. BA champion (2020) NBA All-Defensive First Team (2023) NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2024) Second-team All-NBA G League (2018) Second-team All-SEC (2016) SEC All-Defensive Team (2015)

[@ratherrapid]

@@Oldschulplaya my comment was--watch games and report back instead of citing bis overrated awards

[@bricksnation9650]

Brogdon ? WE DONT NEED MORE INJURY PRONE PLAYERS!!!!!!!!!
