Large NO on Beverly

[@rickster1217]

That would be the downfall of the locker room

[@josephipattersonh6933]

@@rickster1217 plus he’s no good!

[@knicknack4511]

Oh shoot, I forgot Bey is still out there! That would be nice

[@EbutEm]

Saddiq Bey would be great! He’s recovering from injury but not sure how much run he can get here. Maybe some backup small ball 4 and sparse minutes at small forward but for him it doesn’t make sense unless someone got hurt. Would be great to get another Nova player!

[@tempestlaw6224]

I hope the New York Knicks get a good basketball player.

[@seds94]

why trade dueuce for kessler. when you can package a bigger deal for a better center. duece, randle, robinson, 2nd round picks. knicks have some assets to play with

[@BN-kf3uk]

Alex, Bey will not get any significant minutes on NY. His value will drop if he comes to NY. A few minutes won’t help him.

[@BN-kf3uk]

Love you bro but this list sux. Decent player but not what we need. We need big guys who can backup Mitch. Tough guys who will step up when JB gets hit. It shouldn’t be Donte. We’re good at guard and small forward.

[@LockedOnKnicks]

Check out the last episode! Most candidates for bigs are either trade candidates or potential minimum salary flyers, not guys projected to get $5m

[@cpalacioable]

The Knicks need a center, why are you reviewing shooting guards? what a waste of time.

[@LockedOnKnicks]

Because they have $5m to spend with the TPMLE and there aren't any Cs worth close to that much on the market. Check the last episode if you want C candidates

[@billbenham2041]

If the Knicks need to include Deuce in a trade for say, Kessler, they will need to sign a back-up point guard. Not saying I want to trade Deuce. But it sounds like two ones was rejected by the Jazz.

[@BN-kf3uk]

Pat Bev is not a fit. He’s not going to be here to mentor but to disrupt. Hard pass on PB.
