Young guy that just goes out and gets George George that’s two weeks away because we’re in the moment we’re in the middle of trying to find a cof some coffee beans for us um over here in the morning Brew um Sports Network so guys make sure you guys tune in and I’m not
Going to lie Phil’s Bou it rubbed off on me because when I was in Puerto Rico a month ago I went to the F guys to the coffee Farms out there so I’m drinking like um coffee B right now at the moment because I’m on my bie FL right now but
George it’s great to have you on it’s been a minute since we actually had a conversation you know George was one of the first guests on one of the first shows that I started For the Love of the Game a couple of years ago so George appreciate you hope your family’s doing
Well hope your son is doing well as well um George um for the past couple of years have been working with like Uncle foxy who’s a friend of the channel friend of the show as well and as well with Kei from Sports vibes TV hope all
Is well with you guys but George I’ll throw it over to you first celo you got any questions for our guest because let’s get this conversation rolling well honestly you know like I said I tune in to George all the time so I usually know how where George is laying on things but
We’ll act like this is the first time I’ve ever talked to George all right George let’s pick it up from the OG trade what have you seen so far and where you at two games in seen what he’s been able to do how you feeling on OG I
Gotta say uh he’s fitting beautiful I mean that’s I I I I will say I’m I’m actually a little surprised at how well he’s fit in so quickly but that’s probably what uh you know Leon and thibs and those guys saw in him his ability to
Just fill a role at a high Superior manner that I mean how can that not work yeah so uh and that first unit you know even though they we we gave up a lot of points recently but the first unit it wasn’t like we struggled to score necessarily that was actually a really
Good first unit but once once Mitch went down things changed and uh I think this is this is a good response to that situation even though Isaiah hartstein has been unbelievable unbelievable yeah but uh you know it took a while for him to kind of become you know to to do what he’s
Doing now I mean you know getting double digit rebounds 20 rebounds uh he wasn’t doing that right away when Mitch went down uh it took him a minute uh but I mean I’ve just been surprised by how well OG has has fit in right away yeah
No and and I’m right there with you George if you look at the two games um since OG has joined the the team and has been in the lineup with two and 0 with OG and anobi in the lineup and on top of being two and 0 we got two games from
Jaylen Brunson backto back 10 plus assists in both of those games and I know when it comes to Jaylen Brunson this is one thing that Nick fans ever since last year George they’ve been complaining about wanting to see Jaylen Brunson not only score but get some more
Assists it’s nice that Jaylen Brunson On Any Given night can give you 30 points or when he hops out of the bed but seeing that he’s able to also provide you 10 assists and become that playmaker that New York Nick fans have been wanting to me I think is the biggest
Part of this OG trade not having RJ Barrett do the iso ball next to Randle and Jaylen Brunson I think uh opens it up so guys could just catch and shoot or just drive to the lane on a pass and just go straight up instead of taking an
Extra 5 10 seconds on a on a dribble move yeah and and so we were talking about it yesterday um when I was on with Brandon so shout out to SNY you know New York Sports for having me on and shout out to Brandon um but we were talking about you
Know the trade and what I was talking about was what we have to realize is that this trade does a lot more than give us a Defender like it gives us someone who has that instinct automatically to move to cut to find way ways to be effective when he doesn’t
Have the ball in his hands which is huge because like he even said Jaylen Brunson even said that at that game he said hey I don’t even really know what I’m doing so I’m just gonna keep on cutting and Jaylen was like awesome do it you know
And then Randall was like he fits seamlessly like he just plays the game the right way he knows what he’s doing and so it gives us that with the offense as well but it also changes the demographic of how every player plays you look at Julius Randall people are
Not going to continue to double team him when they know that OG is available to cut and to shoot the three I don’t think they had that same threat when it came to RJ as much as we like RJ they weren’t so concerned about RJ getting the ball
And producing from different areas on the court as they are with you know OG next to Julius Randall it helps him on the defensive end frees up Julius Randle from that pressure of being the big guy down low you you know with especially with Mitch out but it also allows Jaylen
Brunson to move and to create and hartenstein to play his kind of game hartenstein has stepped up defensively but the one thing that I was talking to some friends about in a space yesterday is are we sure that we are wanting the rush back of Mitchell Robinson after how
We’ve seen this starting lineup moves and creates effectively with hartenstein in the center like har Cuts hartenstein finds the assist like he brings a lot to the table his defense wasn’t what mitches was but now we’re seeing that step up too so the OG trade to me kind of worked in a perfect
Scenario for us where every player is playing now to their strengths and it came at the perfect time where he played Drummond and goar that are two big guys before we have to play embiid and shout out to Leon Rose he did it with enough
Time for us to see what still needs to be fixed before free agency before the allstar break like this gives us time with OG to kind of see where this unit needs to still improve and so everything for me with the OG trade is spot on and
I want to OG Jersey super bad um before the next person go I just want to shout out double A with the 499 Super Chat as a fellow graybeard Nick fan I salute your intensity SLR George shout out to my guy daa with the 499 help with us
Keep the lights on Adrien pagado in the trap in the chat said Phil drop the Meetup spot for tonight oh don’t worry guys Phil would definitely drop the Meetup spot so everybody could get involved and also make sure you guys go out there and vote for Jaylen Brunson
And Julius Randle for the allstar game make sure to get our boys in Indiana Soo I throw it over to you and then throw it over to Theo George on the next topic we got 83 people in the building if you guys can smack that like button go ahead
Celito well actually the piggy back off of what Phil was saying you know the fact is OG yes we see how that starting unit lines up but it does give us time to see where else we need to fix things right and that second unit we can see we
Need to figure that out we who is really gonna run that because there was different lineups we saw the other night that I we all were like yeah that doesn’t work like no Julius leading that group doesn’t work Jaylen Brunson yes but then you’re wearing him out too
Right so now we consider and say okay that’s where we are going to feel a little bit of that loss from IQ right that’s where you miss that PO person that’s really going to step up in that second unit but it goes back George for me since the beginning of the season I
Was constantly harping on the stop with the we need a star narrative find the pieces that are gonna make this team this unit really work OG does that would you agree George that now we need to kind of look at hey what are we going to
Do with that second unit would you go more with like we need a facilitator there what’s your next piece in your mind George that we need well I think we absolutely need another just pure pure ball handler and we I mean think about who the ball whose
Hands the ball was in most of the time for the past three seasons you know it was whoever the starting point guard was you know thanks to thibs it was various painful people uh you know and then Julius Randall and then it was RJ and then it was IQ so we
Just lost two of our four primary ball handlers uh Dante is not necessarily a primary ball handler though he has some skills he can develop that I think I think we’ve saw some Synergy between him and OG which was nice he’s got some playmaking skills but I mean that’s what we just we
Need someone to actually because uh McBride I know they’re going to give him a chance and I’d like to see more from him I’ve actually been a little disappointed in what we’ve seen since the trade from him I was a little surprised maybe he got thrown off you
Know they’re humans you know uh at the end of the day yeah oh he might be this’s a great opportunity for me but it’s also two of his guys are leaving the team you know the pressure is on him he signs the contract I he just seemed a
Little he seemed a little timid like he couldn’t really get past people on the off the dribble so it that alarmed me a bit because of the way this team is structured it just it needs another ball handler because and we’ve seen this also and we’ even have the word directly
From julius’s mouth burnout Gass he’s used the word Gast this is gonna happen by the end of this year if we don’t get another maybe even two or just give Dante more responsibilities uh give Josh Hart more responsibilities at least bringing the ball up to court that alone you be you
Guys you guys would be surprised how much how taxing that could be over a 40 minute stretch and I know I know popper put out the a really good article yesterday uh we interviewed you guys saw it where they’re fine they’re fine with it yeah they’re fine with it because
They’re Gamers and we’re not even halfway through the season so of course they’re fine with it but come you know late March April when we’re going to be fighting for positions because there’s a lot of decent teams in the East you know a lot of the weaknesses are going to
Start getting exposed and we’ve seen them already in that second unit and part of it is is just someone who can just literally hold on to the ball it’s just that and to give give Brunson a break break you know a significant break and not to mention
Even the the loss of scoring punch that we’ve got uh lost from the bench uh I’m not sure I haven’t looked at the exact numbers or anything but I mean the scoring that I know that we got 18 points uh one game and maybe like I
Think 18 points again the next game IQ alone was giving us 15 points a game so that’s that’s the biggest hole that we need and in terms of the star trade I mean we can slice that up and talk about that separately or whatever but I your
Your your question was what do we need immediately and I think that’s to me is what we need the most no and I don’t think there’s any Nick fan out there shout out to my guy cam from the kickback I don’t think there’s any Nick fan out there that’s going to disagree
With you George especially when it comes to the bench because like you said IQ easily gave us 15 to 18 maybe 20 points on a given night off of the bench and now that bench unit is being asked to fill a role that they weren’t used to
Miles McBride wasn’t used to now having all these minutes and and now to be effective off of the bench when it comes to scoring quitting Grimes we benched him because he couldn’t score and now we’re asking him to step up as that six-man so it’s going to take some time
For those players to get comfortable in that new role and also it’s gonna say take time for Leon Rose to actually pull a trigger and p uh bring in a player so we could move Dante to be that um piece coming off of the bench to handle the
Scoring issues maybe it’s to jonte Murray it is January 5th if you guys been following dejonte Murray he um signed his extension in the summertime with the Atlanta Hawks it doesn’t kick in until next season but because of that extension he signed January 5th today is
The day that now he’s available to be traded because of that contract extension and then on top of it when you look at the Atlanta Hawks they’re in a very tricky situation um shout out to W because he reported it the other day they’re in a situation right now that
They’re 20 million away from the luxury tax thres that first thres when it comes to penalties and the Atlanta Hawks is a team that’s trying to stay away from that Deonte Murray next year is going to make 25 million so if they were to go into next season with Deonte Murray
They’ll get hit with that penalty they’ll have to pay the extra tax and I don’t think that that owner is trying to do that they’re also trying to sign uh resign sadik Bay so it impl them to try to trade de Jon Murray now this season then instead of waiting until the
Offseason when his money goes up and they get hit with penalties so be on the lookout the jeante Murray is out there to be available in any trade Phil I’ll throw it over to you and then throw it over to celito afterwards I have one
More thing from Wes that I want to bring up but go ahead Phil yeah and so I I think the one thing we have to realize is our starting lineup got so much better but our bench is going to suffer like you look at what is happening and
With the intensity that tibs plays Julius Randall in we saw it in that last game Julius Randall is not that guy to play with that second unit it looked clunky it did not work it did not have the same flow that it had with RJ and
When you look at it a lot of times we would fall behind and it was our bench unit that would bring us back and we’d be like yo we need to ride the hot hand on the bench because it was moving well with quick and RJ well now we don’t have
That bench anymore and it didn’t look right with Julius Randle so now it’s like we swapped where it’s like okay now our bench is in we’re going to lose the lead lead and need to get our starters back in so that we can get back into the
Game like it doesn’t you know we exchanged one for the other so we do need something off the bench because what we lost was a scorer and quick but also facilitators in that second unit because when we moved Dante into the starting lineup it worked but it took
Away a scorer and it took away a ball handler in Dante d venzo as well in that second unit so there’s a lot of talks of a lot of players that you know could be available I’m actually going to put a poll up real quick because uh one name
That came up that I was like yo I like that it was this guy D Franco tagged me in it and asked what I thought on it um but it was tus Jones looks like the Wizards are looking to pretty much revamp everything um he is a great bench
Piece can really facilitate really really well so other names that have been out there are the Terry roers the Jordan claron the Malcolm brogens um so I want to hear from the chat like out of those four like who you rocking with like me personally I’d be totally down
With a Terry roier a Scary Terry would be incredible he’s about to be 30 so he’s not going to be looking for you know that starting position point guard role because it hasn’t really worked out um seeing him would be incredible in a Nick jersey with that grit and fight
That he has Sixth Man of the Year type player if he came off the bench um but to everybody in the chat we have over 125 people right now watching with us live 110 on YouTube thank you guys so much hit that like button hit that subscribe button if you’re watching
Through Twitter or through Instagram head on over to our YouTube hit that subscribe hit that like button get involved with uh you know that poll that we just put up because we would love to see what you guys think um but another point someone brought up that we talked
About yesterday um was if we can sign iHeart if he continues this way what do you guys think of a Mitchell Robinson Off the Bench since his contract is small and he brings Elite defense he would destroy the bench you know of other teams if he was our censor um and
It’s structured differently on the bench than it is the starting lineup I’m just say this real quick I think um he would beat your ass if you would have offer that in front of him um because Mitchell Robinson in his head he always wants to be a starter and I think anyone that’s
Out there they want to be a starter or they want to be the main piece whether you’re working at McDonald’s whether you’re working that Burger King whether you’re in the NBA you do not want to play second fiddle to anyone you want to be that star guy and Mitchell Robinson
Ever since coming out of high school he was ranked second before going to college you gotta understand this he was ranked second behind DeAndre Aon in that draft class when it comes to centers he fell to the second round because he missed that first year he had a bunch of
Issues going back and forth College they never played him he transferred he sat out he was working with his agent um he just sat out the entire season so that’s why he felt Us in the draft I just wanted to say that real quick when it
Came to um to Mitchell Robinson and uh when it comes to trades tyus Jones if you guys didn’t know when it comes to assist to turnover ratio Tyrus Jones has the greatest percentile in NBA history just hold that for you that guy never he never gives away the ball
Exactly so that would be a perfect bench piece go ahead SAR throw it over to you and throw it over to the Theo George yeah actually I’m let go ahead I was just going to say I keep looking away and I probably look weird on camera and that’s because Phil’s right there so
When he’s talking I’m like uhhuh yeah and I’m like oh stop looking over like talking pH go ahead de George Well I uh first I want to talk about the Mitch and ie heart thing just really quickly uh I know we’re all falling in love with
IHeart and what he’s given us with the starting unit but me tell you there is no way there’s no way that thibs would ever start him over Mitch I part of what we’re seeing with ihart is because teams are now challenging us at the hoop in now that they never did
Before because they don’t even bother to do it against Mitch so there’s more opportunities for blocks uh it they just they’re taking more risks because Mitch just he his wingspan and the amount of space that he covers is tremendous and it helps it makes life easier for
Brunson and for the guards on the perimeter and that’s why the the the defense just cratered the minute he he went down so I and even though iHeart has been outstanding I just don’t see thibs himself making that switch even if they’re pretty much their production is
Even if it’s even or even even if ihart has little bit better production numbers I still don’t think thibs would make that change George did you see that article that came out I think it was yesterday and I’ll go look it up while you’re finishing your take but a lot of
Those rumors about they can see a world where Mitch and iHeart at the same time being played out there they think that’s that’s more realistic than seeing tibs and put one of them back to the second unit I didn’t see that but I was thinking that through as well because
People you know I dropped this video yesterday about the cat and the Randall all the smoke that there is about it uh so I just took a look at the whole situation but I was getting a lot of you know input about iHeart and Mitch and I
Yeah that to me I was thinking well you know you could actually play them together at times when you go up against teams like the Bucks like a big team so that’s a possibility uh but you still would need like another guy third guy in case some some some of those guys picked
Up some fouls third guy give you some meaningful minutes but that’s a possibility I could see that I mean iHeart also iHeart we haven’t even uh tapped into his three-point shooting ability at all I know he’s not that he’s like a maybe a 33% guy but that’s still
Nice to have somebody out there on the perimeter who can you know every third time if he throws it up it might go in and suddenly you got to play him a little tighter and it gives us a different look and his ability to swing
The ball to move the ball he has a decent handle for a big guy uh I I love his versatility that way I think we need to tap in much more into that and that’s some of the things that I think thibs is going to try to unlock now having him in
That first unit uh but again it comes down to fouls yeah that’s that’s and that’s the amazing thing the part of why I think Mitch had made that leap from because we all knew it I mean Hector we knew we knew that he had special skills I
Mean you gave him his origin story and i’ I’ve repeated it as well we got lucky to get him in that second round he would have been a lottery pick no doubt if he had played that first year so he’s just has special freakish skills but his
Ability to not foul not get into foul trouble early has been the biggest change because it allows him to stay on the court in meaningful minutes and he has a much greater impact on it and then inv verse by not creating not not making those stupid fouls they’re not challenging him as much
Because there’s not going to be a reward it’s just going to be their the ball gets swatted or someone just comes in and swipes it or they just make a terrible attempt because his wingspan is just so insane a skyscraper there but the this is my thing I love Mitch I I
Think Mitch is great but we’ve always said we play four on five when it comes to offense when Mitchell Robinson is out there like it’s just the way is and you look now at how the offense is Flowing so much better our assist ratios are so much better our production from you know
You know getting uh Jaylen Brunson attempts that aren’t so like contested in the paint because no one moves out of the paint when Mitchell Robinson’s there because Mitchell Robinson can’t do anything from outside of the paint so their bigs are always next to our big
Which is always in the Cent C or making a clunky pick and roll play that doesn’t really work because Mitchell Robinson is not good at pick and rolles like it just doesn’t work and so as great as he is on the defense we sacrifice so much when it
Comes to the offensive unit and so now with OG being there and increasing our defense in the paint being that bigger guy being that he has a bigger W uh wingspan it could work where iHeart takes that primary position because now it’s giving us offense and defense and
Yes he’s still struggling with the fouls but what did it take for Mitchell Robinson to start struggling with those fouls game in and game out working on it working on ways to actually be able to go up with these bigs and not foul them and we’ve said it so many times on these
Shows how many times is it dang Mitch you’re killing it against certain bigs but then certain bigs you get destroyed with you know like there’s certain bigs that he can’t really defend and we saw iHeart step up when one of those kind of Bigs like Rudy goar was there you know
Like he got three blocks on Rudy goar without fouling him so I think you know it could work you know and I know you don’t think that tibs whatever we also didn’t think that this front office was going to get OG an anobi you know after everything that was going on with you
Know the the loss everything like that thought that was a done deal we’ve we’ve already previously heard Mitch’s name being involved in trade talks before so I don’t think he’s Untouchable I’ve never heard the words untouchable when it comes to Mitchell Robinson so as much as I like Mitch if it means winning
Basketball and we see that iHeart starting position gets us to where we want to go this season I could see changes being made because I love I love love love Mitch but how many seasons has he really played the full season like can we really rely on a big who’s seven
Foot who just got like screws put in his foot like that’s a scary thing for a big guy you know and so ihart has not been injured and that’s a rare thing with a really good big is not to have an injury history so I root for you know if this
Continues to work and it’s not just a fluke that we ride the hot hand in art yeah no and you know I just want to um respect George’s time because I know he told us 30 minutes George I just going to ask you one more one more
Question and then you could get out if if you have a few more minutes to spare with us I can hang a little longer yeah for sure okay all right copy so I’ll throw it over to celo and Phil great points when you talk about Mitchell
Robinson and a lot of people in the chat were exactly um saying the same thing my guy Surin is agreeing with you as well Keith turn is in the chat agreeing with you as well when when it comes to Mitchell Robinson um yes we already know
What what we’re going to get out of him defensively but you bring up all those other points which are spot on offensively like you said it feels like we’re going 405 when Mitchell Robinson is out there I wish we involved Mitchell Robinson more in the offense with a pick
And roll I wish he worked on his pick and roll game that way he could just get an alleyoop every other time going down to the Lane but that’s no here no there Soo I throw it over to you and then swing it back to Theo
George yeah I mean I said it when went my guy Chris Dada with what’s up Chris hey shout out to the chat everybody thanks I saw Gideon over there Andy G money Keith Turner Chris Dada said you fellas got George on the show you’re now Nick certified for real love
It absolutely Theo George Theo George always certifies and puts the stamps on the Nicks podcast go ahead sell so yeah and again I said it when the injury happened and it’s not me throwing shade at Mitch right we saw an amazing start to the season from him right amazing we
Were all happy looks like he’s handling that weight right he’s grabbing the boards but I said it when he went down the questions that we’ve had around Mitch are being forced to be answered now is iHeart gonna Step Up can he prove that he can be that guy for us and hold
It down for a bit yes he’s showing that he can right the OG trade it now makes it to where someone like Mitch does become Expendable does become a piece and it’s not because Mitch isn’t a great player it’s just everybody in the chat if you’re gonna sit there and say the
Ball movement is so great we need to keep this up well then at the same note then you’re saying well then Mitch maybe isn’t the best guy to have in there because that does change your ball movement so you can’t have both and expect that someone’s right someone’s
Wrong I really think yes Mitch if it’s gonna return something that’s why you move off of Mitch if it’s gonna make us better overall great but I said it before George I would love to see a world where if Mitch is here for a bit
We do see a Mitch and iHeart thing I want to see how that could work I really think we would be surprised with it but it would still leave us with questions what are we doing with that second unit who’s running the ball like it doesn’t solve all the other bigger headaches we
Have so the the blessing in disguise is we’re showing hey we can win without Mitch there we can see what problem you’re saying we have a good problem that’s a good problem to have between those two and you you kind of want you you’d want that like in in a lot of key
Positions like we had uh quickly challenging Brunson you know not NE not literally but you know just he’s putting up you know amazing numbers and and production from that second unit averaging 40% from the three-point line uh so that that Al you want your underst studies to be like pushing the uh the
Main role players even further you know so it is great to have it’s a great problem to have but we have bigger we have other issues that’s a problem for the off season because even if Mitch does make it back in time for the playoffs I think thibs uh you know I
Mean he’ll just you know I don’t know how you guys curse or whatever on the morning show but he’ll love it he love it you know you’re good you’re good you’re good a few a few curse wordss today keep the doctor away as they always say I just want to shout out my

Topic right away what the heck is going on with the Allstar voting like I was shocked how is our dude not on there like you see the names on there and for the first time not even the first time but I think it was one of those realities it
Really is a popularity contest when you look at the names that are on there that shouldn’t be on there right now you’re like okay it truly is popularity because there I’m sorry I don’t know how you don’t have Julius Randall on there how do you not have Randall on there someone
Please talk me off the ledge I know Ron’s in the chat you saw what I did there Ron the ledge talk me off of it yeah so so what it comes down to is first the Nicks fan base and it was talked about really really well in a
Space yesterday with my guy Sean um they were talking about how when it comes to the Nicks fan base we have a lot of casuals based off the fact that it’s New York and based off of the fact that a lot of the ones that are like loyal
Loyal to a te because you look at a lot of like fans now like my wife’s family’s from Indiana basketball to them is like life like you are a Pacer like you just are born a Pacer and you die a Pacer like because basketball is that
Important but with New York you have so much going on now that it’s not like when we all got into basketball you know like when we were in the 90s eras or early early 2000s where you got that like Diehard thing you know now people are fan more so of like players than
They are the actual team you know so you got guys that you know teenagers that will walk away you know and they’ll have a jersey of a team who is you know far from little man just walked in the tooth came out congratulations the too fairy is on the way his first one
Out congratulations I flew in right on time come here oh God and no no Phil didn’t punch his kid in the mouth so the tooth can fall out um that’s what I had as a kid growing up in a Puerto Rican household in Brooklyn you guys can all
Can relate to that but no um I want to throw it over to you George um just to pick up on the conversation that that CA was just having what’s your thoughts um ultimately on where the team should go from here um I know you you you brought
Up a few little pieces here and there but if there was a superstar a Donovan Mitchell who’s available or dejonte Murray who’s available where do you want the Knicks to throw all their chips in when it comes to their draft Capital to go after them o that’s a lot of questions I know
Iiz you like you swirled them up in it’s almost like a salad of questions uh because for one the thing is it’s like yeah what we would want but what are what what is Leon gonna do yeah and I I I I really got the feeling that it’s
It’s they’ve already made that choice they’re going for it they’re gonna try and land a significant player before February 8th I I just feel it just it just the writing is on the wall the opportunity is there the Knicks are already good enough to challenge the Bucks and Celtics and we’ll see tonight
Sixers are great I can’t wait for tonight they’re already good enough to put a scare in them to to take at least two games from them maybe even push them to a game seven they’re they’re good enough to do that now they I think these teams look at the Knicks and like well
We’re not getting a gentleman sweep from these guys we’re not going to sweep these guys this is a battle and you know what one guy goes down in game two or three and we make we may we going home and the Nicks move on that’s even as the team is now that’s a
Possibility they they can sense that so the reverse is true the front office is looking at and say you know what if we just solidify this team a little more upgrade the talent throughout we might get a nice run get a Miami Heat type run that they went on
Last season it is possible the playoffs is grueling the NBA season is grueling so many twists and turns ankles ankle twists KN you know all these things can happen so I I I mean so looking at it that way who is that kind of who’s that guy can definitely come in and really
Upgrade the talent throughout now we know for sure they love Donovan Mitchell yeah they love him uh I think there’s going to be a serious look at him I think right now it’s like let’s see the Cavs actually have maintained they’ve played well without Moy and Garland uh
So I have a feeling they’re more in a wait and see and they may be saying oh we’re not going to trade them we’re not going to trade them but there are there are Marketplace realities that they have to deal with and that’s he’s not going
To resign there unless the team is if if the team let’s say he stays Moy comes back gin comes back and they make a run they get to the Eastern Conference Finals yeah okay I can see Donovan Mitchell resigning there because he can say you know what this team’s got
Tremendous promise I’m the key player so I’m staying but if in the next three weeks the wheels start falling off and uh one of the two guys don’t really make it back uh Donovan may be like you know because there’s you know there’s a time limit February 8th he might be like you
Know what uh most likely this this is probably my last season here so then they’re gonna make a move and then I think the Knicks are waiting for that so I think they had their eye on that that the jonte Murray thing I think is real because what actually especially what you outlined
You know the the second apron issues they don’t they don’t want to go into tax penalties there in Atlanta uh and he’s actually one of the few assets that they have that can really probably get him at least two first round picks I mean who else is gonna get him two
Capella yeah no and then when when you look at other teams that are that are rumored to be involved on Deonte Murray the only only other team really is the Lakers and they don’t have that many assets who are they going to trade Rudy haimura um who who they don’t even want
Right now who they got to trade send back cam reddis to the Atlanta Hawks in order to get um de Jon Murray so so so that’s not going to happen but what you brought up about the postseason I just want to Echo off of that real quick and
Just piggyback I throw it over the field to get his take but you never know what happens in the postseason the next week could get to the second round or you know knock on wood our guys are healthy but if we match up with a a Philadelphia
76ers and for some reason Joel MB he twists his he twists an ankle and he’s out for the series you never know yeah could we could surprise a team in the postseason if we act right now instead of just sitting on our hands so when you
Look at the reports that are out there you got Shams who’s in one corner and then you got WJ who’s in another corner I always tell you guys look at who represents each person Shams is represented by clutch Sports anything that has to do with clutch sports
Athlete Shams is going to drop it anything that has to do with the Knicks wge is going to drop it because wge is a CAA guy so when it comes to the the knck anything that ws dropped I’m going to hold on and I’m going to hold that on to
More than anyone else when the news drop about the Brun I mean uh the RJ and the IQ trade who who broke it it was WS who broke it shans didn’t break it it was WS who broke it because he is right next to the Knicks front office having that CAA
Connection go ahead Phil yeah before just to re affirm that you can even see on draft day it’s it’s w that tweets out the the Nick the Nick you know whatever Intel Leon doesn’t really give away Intel but when something does drop it’s w that it’s coming from Rose yeah I just
Want to highlight a few people Shiloh who’s in the chat I am a Heat fan I like the players you guys got for this season I’ll say you guys need another legit score for sure I don’t see Brunson and rangen uh Randle getting that far I think that’s what he’s saying syo I
Appreciate you syo if you’re new to the channel let us know and for all you guys that are new subscribers drop the new in the chat so we can welcome you to the Brew Crew Familia we are sitting at 28515 away from 26 go ahead philli the
Floor is yours yeah you know so when it comes to you know that whole thing one thing I want to say is I don’t want anyone to get injured at all yeah because here’s the thing is I really think that our Squad is good and if we
Make one or two adjustments before the trade deadline we can really compete and I would rather compete and come up a little short with healthy rosters than us beat a 76ers team where embiid got injured and we do well and there’s always that asterisk next to a Nick you
Know win or a Nick you know Victory like I don’t want the asterisks I want us to like actually kick teams in the mouth kick their teeth out and actually be able to say the Knicks did it right not that we needed a charity of someone
Getting injured um so like d said you know like we got a squad right now and we’re playing tough and I know people have you know that their gripes and different things that you know they want to see changed like yes you know some that are fullon Randall fans they don’t
Think anything’s wrong with Randall at all some that can acknowledge that Randle is playing really really well want to see him play better defense and will crucify him until he plays better defense then me in the middle I’m like I saw something in that last game where he actually was intercepting you know
Passes and grabbing balls before they went out of bounds I’m seeing tiny progression steps and I believe that this OG trade helps that like I really do I really think having a player like OG that will like not he he refuses to not give 100% on both ends of the Court
Like you see this guy sit down and it looks like from head to like shoulders he just came out of a shower because he’s dren in so much sweat and he’s breathing super hard because he leaves everything out on the court that kind of play is contagious like it is especially
When it’s someone new coming into the team you don’t want everybody to say that player that they just got does more for this Nick team than anyone that’s been on there you know like so if you’re those guys if you’re the randles and stuff like that I think you’re going to
Start to see some of that stuff more and more you’re going to see things come out of Randall that you know having RJ in the starting lineup really didn’t pull out of him so I want to see what happens like that’s why I’m very very thankful
That the front office did this so early because it gives us chances to see what still needs to happen and gives them time to work like it gives them time to now make the right trade instead of just a big trade anyone could make a big
Trade and it be a total like flop but someone to make the right trade is what we want as Nicks fans so I think we’re able to do that now so I think if we add and get our bench back up our starting lineup can contend with the other
Starting lineups we saw that against Minnesota best defensive team one of the best in the west you know they’re think second or third in the west and we beat them Chicago was doing well we beat them big man Drummond shut down so I think
That if we see us play hard and we don’t have to win tomorrow Nick’s fan or tonight Nicks fans don’t jump off the subway if we lose like we just made a trade but if we win tonight or even contend tonight that means that we have some good solid foundation to build upon
Make that one or two quick little pieces in the starting lineup and in that you know bench unit and I think we can really really contend and enjoy the rest of the season so I’m actually excited for it more so than I’ve been probably since John Starks was a Nick so you know
It’s something to enjoy uh guys I think I love that enthusiasm man no I’m right there with you georan and guys take not this is two episodes back to back that Phil is giving flowers to Julius Rand and Phil is saying to vote for Randle for the
Allar game guys make sure you clip this because it’s not gonna happen all year round Hey listen Hector I said it the other day my my tweet after the game the other day was hey Nick’s fans as a fan base are we accepting bandwagon fans like because you know they’re coming we
Got to start accepting them listen we’re in a world where Phil is praising Julius Randall multiple episodes in a row okay we’ve got people sitting here that are literally talking about we’ve got ball movement it’s a new world Nicks fans okay I expect the band wagon to fill up
But George I wanted to touch on the Donovan Mitchell thing because am I crazy in thinking George that the OG trade they showed hey this is a guy that we’ve had our eye on for two seasons a little longer than that it’s somebody we
Had on our wish list and we went and got him do you think that’s still in the back of their mind and we know there’s really two names that fall under that the these are the guys we want Donovan Mitchell being one of those even though
Right now for the first time I think this entire fan base or a good portion of it are leaning towards Murray more than they are leading spider last season last two seasons everybody go get spider go get spider but now you’ve got people like wait wait wait maybe spider’s not
The right answer do you think this uh front office would lean more towards Mitchell than they would Murray because of how much in love they are with Mitchell I think there’s no doubt there’s no doubt they would go for spider and and the thing is Donovan Mitchell has already shown that in the
Playoffs he can become a big- time money scorer when it becomes hard harder and harder to get a bucket he’s already shown it and imagine him even though they’re G to be small it’s gonna be a small it would be a small back court next to Brunson but man that would be a
Nightmare for other teams to have to deal with it would it would disrupt how they defend the Knicks or how they defend in general so I I mean when you have two guys who could give you 40 in the back court and think about how much pressure that would take off Randall as
Well you know we’re talking about floor spacing now we really start seeing floor spacing because you know SPID spider shoots from four three feet behind four feet behind the ark you know and get snap off three four five in a row from back there it’s floor spacing it’s gon
Beautiful not just that George but if but if and I’ll throw it right back to you but if Julius Randle is the third option and Donovan Mitchell is your first option teams when game planning right when they’re coming up with their defensive strategy to go against you
Julius Randle is going to eat because everybody’s going to try to stop Donovan Mitchell stop Jaylen Brunson jul if Julius Randle could get that one-on-one bully ball in the paint he’s gonna be able to eat better than he’s ever had in his career my fault George I throw back
ABS absolutely absolutely to totally right and the beauty is and like we’re you know we we know that that Randle can do it you know spray that ball out from the Block if he’s getting double team triple teamed he can do it he just Waits a little too long but now having Donovan
Out there on the perimeter along with the Jaylen Brunson and an ogi and anubi all guys who can shoot 40 plus percent from the three-point line he just he doesn’t have to struggle as hard so he’s gonna be less turnover he just kicks it out boom when no shots stop falling start falling
They’re going to double team him less so it’s gonna have this beautiful in uh inverse reaction where life becomes much easier on Julius less of a burden on him less decision making uh I think that’s the vision that Lon and and the crew have and then you have iHeart and hopefully Mitchell will
Be back you know give you that defensive presence and OG an all NBA type guy that is a very difficult starting unit to deal with it still doesn’t address the the the sorry it still doesn’t address the second unit though that’s the thing I think it’s a two-prong deal that needs
To happen Phil my just one just just one second I do apologize I want to shout out blood of the Panther with a $5 Super Chat subscribe and hit that like button and no we got 212 people in the building guys if you can somehow the support is
Free right there’s a little button right there at the bottom you just hit likey just hit the little thumbs upy and if you can’t hit it that means you haven’t hit the subie hit the subie hit the likey go ahead yes we are on 2593 Subs s
Away from 26 so if you guys can hit that subscribe button for your boys filipo the floor is yours so here’s my thoughts I love Donovan Mitchell don’t get me wrong Donovan Mitchell is a great player and yes there was a time that I really really would have loved Donovan Mitchell
But here’s why I’m more so on the dejonte Murray train than I am the Donovan Mitchell train because a lot of the things that we’re talking about like yes they can both put up 40 da d da but the shots have to come from somewhere with Don Mitchell and Jaylen Brunson
Someone’s going to have to start shooting less there’s there’s no like game that we’re going to see where Jaylen Brunson Donovan Mitchell each are scoring 40 randle’s putting up 30 like it just doesn’t work in my opinion like I think that’s just a lot of shooting
Power and not a lot more that comes with it so for me the deante Murray thing he’s still a great defensive player he can facilitate so that gives Jaylen Brunson the opportunity to play certain plays off ball we’ve seen how great Jaylen Brunson can be off ball in a
Catch and shoot three-pointer and you see now that he is playing better in pick and roll situations with iHeart than he was with Mitch so you bring in a dejon Murray who’s able to move without the ball who’s able to like facilitate who’s also able to score has that kind
Of confidence that if you need a bucket he is a clutch bucket getter as well so he’s got a lot of the things that we love about Donovan Mitchell maybe not to the same like same level of Donovan Mitchell but he also brings that wingspan he also brings a history of
Really good defense and yes may not be up to par this year as it’s been in previous like years before but that Atlanta ha team that Atlanta Hawks team is a straightup dumpster fire like it just is so a lot of players are not playing any more to their potential
Because they’re just like I want to get the hell out of here I think you bring a Deon Murray to a tibs Le defense and tibs loves a guy who can play defense I think that fuels the fire again with dejonte Murray and we possibly see that
Steals leader you know kind of numbers again that all defensive NBA you know kind of player again revive in Jon Murray he can hit the three he can drive he can play defense and that leaves what Donovan Mitchell’s contract does not leave it leaves room to increase what we
Get off the bench now we’re not just looking for spare parts on the bench we still have resources to build our bench to be elite and to get those kind of players that we’re talking about the Malcolm brogens or the scary terries or the tyus Jones to be able to lead our
Second unit so now you get kicked in the mouth by our starting lineup because we have some decent contracts that are friendly and now you have a second unit that also puts the foot on the gas just as much as our starting lineup and that
I think is what will set us apart for the playoffs is being able to play four quarters of back-to-back Elite offense and defense starting lineup and reserves all so real quick guys it’s 12 on the dot George has to get out of here before we let you go George final words how are
You feeling about tonight and I’m gonna say it I love putting people on the spot George we bringing your ass back man we gotta have you back on for another that’s a fact right if not I’m just gonna hang right and I’d love to have you guys
On as well whenever whenever you want just throw the bat signal and we’ll be there Theo George all right appreciate that yeah well guys what do I think about tonight’s game is that what you were asking oh man uh tonight’s game is interesting it could reveal a lot tonight uh it this
Could be the game where you know uh that lack of chemistry gets exposed you know remember Sixers are a much better team than the uh than the Knicks have been playing against lately except even the the Minnesota Timberwolves uh they were struggling they’ve been struggling lately and a lot of people don’t believe
In them as much and I think they may have finally hit their ceiling and maybe GNA start plummeting not plummeting but just fading a little bit uh they had a very easy schedule in the first part of the Season uh the and the thing about
The Sixers uh they want this bad so I have a feeling they’re gonna come they’re they’re gonna try to really take it to us so it’s how we respond uh I I don’t have a read yet on how it’s going to unfold because I’m a little worried about like the the second units
Right now uh I’m worried that uh you know there’s a lot of mileage on Brunson and Randall and then and I’m also worried that you know the high that they were on from that trade and then New Year’s Day you know starts dissipating and then just life’s realities uh and
We’ve seen this team before un the darker side they you know we’ve seen Randall as great as he been playing comes out he just doesn’t quite have the effort to get back on defense sometimes for some inexplicable reason so we don’t want to see any that we could get
Exposed today he could get frustrated uh the refs might throw him off his game uh so lot of variables all that said all that said I think thibs and Brunson want a w so bad that they’re going to do everything they can so I think we’re gonna I think we’re gonna
We’re gonna eek out a win tonight we’re going to eek a win out tonight that’s what I’m hoping for I want to see a good response from the Knicks uh I want to see a nice game from Mitch I I mean not Mitch uh um miles miles du McBride have
His first you know productive game since uh putting being put in his new role uh we might even see a little more Dante playing with the second unit so uh I feel like it might be Grimes that comes in first uh from Off the Bench instead
Of Miles who came in first last time so that we can have a fresher Dante to help with the ball handling in the second unit that’s these are the things I’d like to see thibs adjust uh so that we’re not not so stagnant in that second
Unit and maybe even see some OG with that second unit because like you said I think I think it was Hector who said the um the Julius or maybe it was Phil Julius with the second unit just wasn’t working uh and remember also we saw of Brunson with the second unit with when
IQ was was here that was a nice backourt a nice uh match up there with that second unit so I think th is gonna experiment a little more and he might hopefully unlock something to so that those minutes aren’t negative minutes when the when the team when that unit is
Out there because the first unit we know is just killing it right now and ihart ihart against embiid is going to be the key matchup uh if iHeart stays out of foul trouble then we got a chance if he gets into foul trouble it may be a long night for the Knicks oh
My God I just got I just got so nervous right now because I’m not sure if you guys got your phone out I just got a ESPN notification and it said Nicks and blockbuster trade but it was just an article about like the OG trade I was
Like oh don’t tease me like that I thought I thought another trade was happen while we was live man guys guys in the chat I dropped the link there go drop a sub if you’re not following George into Nicks verse yet go support our guy George thank you so much for

Guy so so real quick we didn’t talk about the allstar thing because we changed the thing but if you’re in here let’s vote okay like oh no what happened was your son came out with his tooth my you know my ADHD I was just dis regulated I know what was going on I’m
Sorry yeah no no you good you good I just want to say real quick vote the fact that Kyle kma as much as I like Kyle kosma the fact that he threw a ball off the backboard and tried to pull a Kobe and fell flat on his face into his
Team members and he is still above Julius Randall in the vote crazy it’s crazy to me that is something that like if it would have came out you know years ago that would have been on all those like hip-hop World Star videos and everyone would have been trolling them
Shack shacked in a fool yeah shacked in a fool so if he can have those votes there is no reason that Julius Randle having the best season of his career should not have those votes so Nick fans stop being casuals get on the app it’s easy it’s simple don’t vote for the
Western Conference if you don’t want to it’s even simpler if you just only do the Nicks like vote for your guys get off the app and you’re done um there’s 187 right now we’ve had up to 230 uh live on today’s episode if you can hit that like button hit that subscribe
Button um but you know I saw I saw Mr double a first I don’t know if I saw right but uh dable a is back there double A let me get a thumbs up if you’re ready to come up and join the conversation my guy dable a is ready to
Go doublea my guy am I am I going to see you later on today bro we going to make that Happ give that championship cry bro all right copy copy copy I want to try something new man because my feeling is is the people they come to
Hear you guys speak you know not us particularly I the questions I app I appreciate that doublea but one thing we always say here yeah it’s me Phil celo and Jerry but the chat and the open Panel is what makes this Channel and what makes this show you know just as
Our voices are important the people that watch us every day that’s in the chat every day the people that jump on the open Panel are just as important as us so I appreciate those words but you just as important to me my guy I love you papy it’s just that papy these questions
Are already in my head I hear my voice all the time you know I hear my answers all the time I feel you I feel you but dou did put your V vote in first did you were you able to votee for Julius and Jaylen yet there’s the vote in yes oh oh
Yeah oh yeah my guy go ahead with all this talk of trading and adding people we have to look I mean this ain’t y 2K right so we have to look at the big picture salaries how are we going to fit people into the salary uh
Are we a we’re going to able to pay like a spider and Brunson and Randall and still keep OG because I’m G tell you something bro this OG piece I mean it’s perfect it’s a perfect piece uh so that’s one of my questions and my next question was this uh the shot attempts
Okay with RJ gone I don’t think it should be a license for Brunson and Randall now to be Gunners what I’m talking about is in the Bulls game Randall had 23 shots Brunson had 22 shots OG had nine and Dante had 10 we need to spread the ball a little bit
Better than that I think uh one of the things OG was interested in and uh in the interviews and things that they were talking about him looking you know before he was traded to the Knicks was he wanted to get more involved in the offense he wanted a bigger part in the
Off so we want to keep him happy but like I said my question fellas the main one is how are we going to fit a spider into and then the other big picture is man we don’t know what’s going to happen with Mitch right guys we don’t know if
He’s going to come back 100% so that makes keeping somebody like I very important know you think yeah yeah yeah I’ll throw it over to Phil go ahead Phil answer that and I’ll and I’ll double back I know we got G money backstage G money will bring you up
Momentarily go ahead Phil I Honestly Love questions like this because like yes there’s speculation but for me I try to look at the writing on the wall okay so when we got the Josh heart trade you know and people were like oh maybe we’re just doing this for a loner d d I
Said it early I said it I think second week that we had him that we are resigning him this was already done when Jaylen Brunson came we had already been talking to Josh Hart before actual teams were talking to Josh Hart that was already a done deal we knew I knew he
Was going to stay people were like no no he’s probably not we’re not going to resign him for this or that and I’m like listen he would not have been here if it wasn’t long term I know this I’m guaranteeing it I’m going to say the
Same thing about OG like you look at the hype dies down you know of us going to get him but he becomes CAA I don’t think that’s a fluke in any way shape or form that he became CAA I don’t think that it’s a fluke that he came here in
Spite of everything that’s going on still with the organization like this is one of those things that we can’t say that we have a front office that sits on their hands and then when they make a move think that they didn’t think these things through like this is something
That I believe OG already has verbally worked something out to come back next year like I really believe that I really believe that they have decided this is what we need we need that Wing we need the length we need someone who’s defensively a mastermind and they they
They went in on him so I say his money is already secured I think that part is already set apart in the New York Nicks bank account that that dude is going to get his money so for me I have to look at Jaylen brunson’s contract I gotta
Look at Julius randle’s contract and I gotta look at uh Jaylen brunson’s contract and those three and then say Okay whose money still fits for these next pieces so that’s why you know as much as we would want to Donovan I don’t see it because of how much money it’s
Going to cost to have a Donovan Mitchell like I think that if we ever go that star route it has to be if with Leon Rose and these guys a top five player top six player in the league that they’re willing to then trade some of
Their big big assets for you know and so that’s why I think a Deon Murray trade is genius you bring this guy in you see if it works and if not you package him and you then can hunt for that big star that you apparently want you know so I
Think de jante is a perfect if he fits keep him around if he doesn’t package him and we figure out the future so I think that they have brought him in OG as a solidified piece for the future I don’t think that that’s in question in
My opinion um I just want to piggyback off of Phil real quick but before I do that fellas we are at 2600 subscribers we want to give a shout out to everybody in the chat all of the new subscribers appreciate all of you guys everyone who
Helps us out with the super chats helps us keeps the light on but like I said we are sitting at 26 600 subscribers 400 away from three uh 3000s shout out to my guy G money joining us on the open Panel I give my take real quick I’ll throw it
Over to celo let’s throw it over to goney to get his take when it comes to the trades but for me I think Donovan Mitchell like Phil said it’s more of a pipe dream right um I think we would love to have Donovan Mitchell because he
Is that star that people are saying that we need but for me I think we have our two stars and I think it’s Jaylen Brunson and I think is Julius Ram um I say realistically Deonte Murray may be the realistic option for us when it comes to trades but the perfect Plan B
If we can’t get dejonte Murray is Malcolm Brogden with the Portland Trailblazers right so like I said de jante maybe who we may be targeting maybe the realistic option but the perfect Plan B if we can’t get um Deonte Murray or if they’re asking too much for
The Jon Murray is M Malcolm brogon because we get Malcolm brogon we can have him coming off of the bench and we could keep um Dante devant chenzo in the starting lineup who is a better three-point shooter than Deon Murray yes Murray is a phenomenal ball handler he
May be perfect next to um Jaylen Brunson but him and uh Dante Devan chenzo they almost do the same thing defensively right dejon Murray is not a great defender when it comes to the one-on-one but he’s great when it comes to getting into those passing lanes and denying the
Passes right uh Dante dendra is also the same thing when it comes to Dante he can get in those passing Lanes he can get you a Ste to start a fast break and ever since being inserted into the starting lineup the man is shooting over 40% from
The three-point line and I think 44% thank you doua and I think that’s perfect to have next to Jaylen Brunson and to Julius Randle and OG anobi somebody that you could just throw the ball out to if that double team comes so like I said deante Murray may be where
We’re sitting at realistically but Malcolm braglin is the perfect Plan B um SSO I throw it over to you to get your take I’m not sure if you there um but G money I throw it over you until Soo comes back what’s your take how you been
Happy New Year hope the family’s doing well Happy New Year I’m doing thank you thank you Happy New Year to everyone happy New Year to you double a Hector Phil everyone the in the chat in the panel H happy New Year everyone so
Far I like the OG move OG o baby I love that move I mean can he can he can nail the corner three he can Fly Like An American Eagle he’s a junkyard dog defensively he’s very high IQ and even though he needs to work on a
Foul trouble needs to fix that other than that OJ noobi is a nice piece to have he’s he fit in like a glove great he’s like he’s a Swiss Army ninth defensively can put the ball on the floor athletic and shoot the corner three and he’s a guy that could create
His own shot at times I’m not saying he’s a great shot cson at times he could here and there and he’s a good rebound so I love the OG and and OB transition nice nice um go ahead Phil you’re muted Phil real quick I wan I
Want to go on Tony real quick so Tony had a you know s and he said come on now guys you know what Julius does once the playoffs come around one bad game fans start booing him and then he gets in his head and crumbled I understand that you
Know I understand that def I want to reply to that as well after you’ve done I understand every body’s speculations you know but I don’t want to go into the playoffs that way with that kind of mindset you know like because here here’s the thing I think things are
Twofold you know so there’s certain things that I know as a dad that if I do it Sparks reactions in my kids I know that you know and so as a dad I don’t want to do those things that I know spark certain things that would cause my
Kids to react in ways that I don’t want them to react so I think you know as as the fan base we also have to take some responsibility not all because he’s a grown freaking man you know but but I’m saying like if you know that he starts
Playing bad in one game and then you start turning on him after all season him playing well and you know that that’s the domino effect when it happens can you really complain about it if you knew that you doing that was going to cause that you know like there has to be
Some responsibility on both ends so for me I’m looking at his season and I’m saying okay I’ve wanted him to show a little more effort I’ve wanted him to play a little more defense I’ve wanted him to not be so selfish with his shot selection and to pass and to actually
Play like a team and now he’s doing those things so if if he’s doing those things that I’ve asked of him I want to have that same thought process going into the playoffs Julius I’m asking you to show up in the playoffs if he doesn’t and it’s three games back to back of
Just poor effort poor attitude then let’s start talking but if a guy has a bad game in the first game of the playoffs am I going to like bring out the Pitchfork and like cause more of an issue no I want to see him succeed I’m
Going to root for him because he’s on my team until Julius Randle is not in a blue and orange Jersey I want him to succeed like I want our team to do well so I think that we have to hope for the best and yes for me I’m not get a jersey
Of Julius Randle I’ve said it a million times until this man does something well in the playoffs like I’m not going to make him what some people are where they’re like oh he’s top 10 Nick of all time to me not until he performs well I’ll say this too though heck and I’ll
Throw it to you heck but yeah I will say we can put this to sleep and I know everybody’s like well you gotta wait till the playoffs and the reason I’m saying my response every time someone says that about the playoffs we can look at the first five games six seven games
Of this season on how bad Julius was playing okay if there was ever a time for Julius to give us the mental case that we saw a couple years ago and check out that would have been the time so I’m sorry to me that was a big test to start
This season where he’s instead of losing it losing is cool not being a good teammate he found a way to come back and have an entire fan base that like yeah the turnover suck but the man is balling out so I’m glad we’re all focused on the
Playoffs already and we all know we’re going to be there but I agree with you Phil we can’t go into another playoff where it’s like oh julus isn’t going to show up who knows let’s get to the dance but here’s the thing he has pieces around him that are gonna give him more
Opportunities in this playoffs than we did last season so I’m sorry I’m still gonna sit here and rock that 30 jersey for the rest of the season and you know what get me to the playoffs then we can start talking about that Julius doesn’t show
Up last year was last year this is a whole new season people whole new pieces okay yeah so go ahead heck I know you I cut you off no no no no it’s totally fine shout out to my guy our guy Jerry Ferrar in the building we gotta stop
Talking players we have work to do and the East is crazy I’m a little bit worried Jerry stop sipping on the Kito that’s what it is Jerry on Kito right now that’s why he’s a bit worried but shout out to everybody that’s in the building my guy Anthony D shout out to
Anthony D heck there y gota send me some Nicks gear or something I’m the 2500 subscriber Anthony D you already know I got you guy but to um to piggy back off of the conversation when it comes to Julius Randle and I just want to bring
Up the chat that said it earlier just because you know I just want to give him his flowers when it comes to that I’m trying Tony Wy shout out to Tony Wy um for me I said it on Wednesday’s episode after this season if Julius Randall
Doesn’t show up in the playoffs no more excuses things got to change the front office they got to put him on the first thing smoking out of town year one we understand Julius Randall was overworked my guy in the uh in the chat I can’t find it but they brought it up Julius
Randall was overworked that first year he didn’t have that much help either that second time in the postseason last year against the Miami Heat the man was injured right we didn’t find out to after the um the postseason is done and he immediately went into surgery but
After this year no no matter what happens no matter if he’s overworked no matter if he’s tired no matter if if he’s injured if Julius Randle doesn’t have that that postseason we have been waiting for him to have then something’s got to change with the post uh w w with
The front office as of right now I’m rocking hard with my guy Julius Randall right I’m rocking hard with Jaylen Brunson and Julius Randle those are our number ones right there number one a and number one B so I’m rocking out with my guys dou a what’s your thoughts when it
Comes to that about Julius Rand ASO and folks in the chat let me know as well what’s your thoughts Anthony D I appreciate y’all just what just like when he messes up you know he deserves the flowers man he’s doing everything we’re asking of him I mean it’s to me
It’s tragedy and I’m tired of hearing people say that the Knicks need a star the Nicks need a star we have stars Jaylen Brunson is a star Julius Rando is a Star OG anobi is a star and maybe Jerry is feeling what I’m thinking I’m GNA ask Phil the prophet
Okay I think this is a question for Phil the prophet do we believe that ch the answer as our backup center going into the playoffs I’m I’m not impressed Brothers I’m not impressed as a backup power forward as a backup center going into the playoff as a backup center no
I’m not impressed just like you as a backup power forward he can definitely do the job as a backup power forward some games he may be able to be a backup center and some games but in the postseason I’m not sure if we’re going against the Charlotte Hornets he could
Be a backup center right but if we go up against the bucks or if we go up against the Celtics I don’t think he could be a solid answer as a backup center um before we throw it over to the next person sh I don’t care hold your question
Because before the question came before the question came people were saying Hey I want some Nicks gear and I totally forgot we’re dropping it today people been asking for it ladies and gentlemen we got the Nick morning Brew cups available if you’re chopping it up with
We want to make sure everybody gets a mug in the hand guys we are not trying to make this a money maker this is let’s get this in as many hands as possible $16 Nick’s morning Brew look at that orange inside so sexy so orangey so nickisha cup that’s right get your cup
We’re gonna drop the link in the chat so you guys can support us by grabbing yourself a next morning bro Shameless plug alert is over go ahead Philip answer the question all right that was a lot yeah so grab your mugs join us uh we
Also have you know um our my squad stays on point it’s a tribute to all the best New York point guards Through The Years uh we got some Yankee merch on there we got some jet merch on there as well and we’ll be creating more and more as we go
Um but to Double A’s point I agree precious aoua is good when you’re playing benches that don’t have a great backup center but if you play player like teams it’s especially like when we played Minnesota you saw that there was times where Carl Anthony came back in to
Play that Five Spot while gobear was on the bench or vice versa precious Chua cannot compete with those guys when it comes to playing Center like we will get eight up he will be food for that but we also have to wait like it’s still a
Sample size OG is the kind of player that I think you could drop him in freaking the desert and he will find a way to have a lemonade stand and become a millionaire like that is the kind of player I believe OG is that is not that’s not precious AA that like that’s
Just not precious I think precious is going to take time to actually learn the system like Precious is uh the kind of guy that I think that needs to understand before he becomes effective and we’re looking at OG who was able to just come in and be effective off the
Bat and we’re comparing the two so I say we need a sample size from precious give us about 8 to 10 games to actually see if he starts to actually formulate an actual game with us and if not we have options you know Sims is looking like
He’s healthy again you know so he came in for like a minute the other game so it’s not like we are bankrupt at that position for a backup for the rest of the year um but I say let’s give them a chance before we make an assumption before
Playoffs I’m sorry for the no no it’s fine it’s fine for the playoffs I I I’m not too sure I’m not too confident on it so let’s see what happens at the trade deadline I want to throw it over to Ron real quick but before I do that we have
246 people in the building if you guys can smack that like button we are sitting on 118 likes for the stream so let’s do me a favor let’s try to get the stream up to 200 likes on top of it we are sitting at 2611 Subs so if you haven’t subed to the
Channel Smack That subscribe button I want to throw it over to the old g triple OG the voice of Nick Nation himself my guy Ron from still Nick fans happy New Year’s to you you handsome devil how you Feeling oh man heck always knows how to intro a guy man I tell you you make me feel good the soul feels good inside uh salute to all of y’all man shout out Happy New Year to everybody G money was good M guy I appreciate you my brother double A
As always you know how it is what’s up about it you know what I mean and always you know my one of my favorite uh uh networks on the YouTube channel the morning Brew Sports my guy Hector Phil and I guy Jerry uh watching from wherever wherever you watching my
Brother appreciate all you guys man and and let me just let me just say this real quick I just want to I mean everybody’s saying it I’m just happy for you guys man you know I’ve been I’ve been I’ve been on my campaign thing and
Now I can hang it up I don’t need it anymore you guys are flying right now no need for it man I appreciate everything that’s happening for you guys you guys definitely deserve it and I I expect more and more to come because you guys are dope so I appreciate appreciate that
Ron appreciate you and John you guys always supported us from the beginning since day one you know we’ve known each other it’s couple of years Ron you know we we family you know what I mean so I appreciate you Ron I can’t wait for that
Day we get to meet IRL and have a nice drink but the floor is yours Ron what’s your thoughts about the conversation and before you go I do apologize Ricardo with the five Super Chat shout out to Ricardo Who says let’s get the Rosen and drumman and a Terry Rosier or Alec Burks
For the bench skip the Donovan Mitchell pipe dream Ricardo will Circle back to that one but thank you for the Super Chat go ahead uh Ron yeah man I think uh you know I’m really excited really happy for the direction the Knicks are going in right now I’m I’m I’m liking that the
OG thing somehow got done I know we all thought it would never happen because of everything but somehow I mean listen crazier things happen and so it’s a really nice thing to see I think Nick fans are starting to you know realize sometimes when you don’t see it you
Don’t get it and so I think you know seeing it’s only been two games but we already already see the impact and the difference OG brings to this team on defense like he affects so much and he’s not even comfortable yet you know what I mean he’s just going out there and
Playing because that’s who he is wait till he starts to get more comfortable wait till the Knicks find a way to kind of get him more more uh you know acclimated and and a part of the offense find out ways you know to get him some
More touches because the guy he has some versatility and we need to capitalize on that so I can’t wait for all of that as far as um what you guys are saying about precious yeah I think precious will be fine I think precious is an upgrade over
What we have say what you want to say about you know Jericho Sims and stuff but Jericho Sims there’s something that he’s missing that tibs just doesn’t like and it is is what it is man I I like Jericho but tibs is the coach and if there’s something he’s not seeing he’s
Going to look elsewhere I think precious also has a couple little things because I’ve heard from Toronto people Toronto fans that watch him every day that yeah sometimes he can kind of Miss assignments and stuff like that but when he’s on he’s on is he a center no is he
Should he be our backup center or playing Center minutes in a small lineup maybe but really no he’s just gonna get exposed he’s gonna get destroyed in that spot but as a backup power forward I think he’s exactly what we need he’s a guy you don’t want to worry you don’t
Want to compare him to Obie and say oh he needs more minutes he’s a young pup all that you don’t got to worry about that with pressures just throw him out there let Julius get a little rest and then bring Julius back it’s simple yeah
Yeah when it comes to how tibs is using him right now there are so many times last season we were like tibs go small let Randall play with like we were calling for small life s and now that we have a guy that we’re not 100% sure
Should be playing at the center in small lineups tibs is now playing him in a small lineup and we’re like what are you doing this is not when we wanted it it’s what we asked for but the wrong people uh but if you guys can there’s over 240

Get Murray to start and send the Big Ragu to the second unit.
You Guys Got me to subscribe. Have my own streaming channel but you guys are the real deal. Had to subscribe.
NEW. M3-TV subscribed. Say hi guys!
First timer on the Brew. Loving it!
My take is, why have knicks fans over looked for years, Randal's lack of defense, and defensive efforts. Its have if offensive stats negate defensive. Randal and drop 25, but give up 10 points by not closing out, poor perimeter defense and zero help in the paint. Teams go on runs and Knicks loss a lot of close games, and no notices how bad a defensive player Randal is. Even Coach Tibbs doesn't hold him accountable. The OG trade masks yet again Randal's lack of defensive effort. Lastly, Robinson has gotten into foul trouble so many times because he's working twice as hard. Not to mention, he gets injuried often helping out on Julius's man. I wouldn't vote for Randal because i value both ends of the court. Offensively, Randal is a beast down load but when he gets the ball at the top of the Key, he is an offensive ball stopper. Not a fan. Vote for Brunson for the all star team. Quickly will be miss, great two way player.
Almost guaranteed, if the Knick lose tonight, that another trade will be expedited. If we win, nothing will get done in terms of a trade. So…
George is the real deal! What a panel! Great topics, excellent discussion and interesting ideas! I am open to keeping or moving Mitch even though I would be sad to see him go! IQ was one of my favorites but OG has already helped me forget him! I agree that we need one more piece at the SG!
Phil I like that Robinson coming off the bench that would be great for our team. GO KNICKS
How we are a big Major city and we have knicks fans in every state and all over the world and the knicks fans are not voting for Randle and Brunson it's crazy and sad at the same time GO KNICKS
Good evening Knicks Morning Brew, Phil All Caps and Celso
Following you guys from Puerto Rico π΅π·
Salud George

Yall bugging brah, we not trading Mitch. Tell Thibs to stop playing him so much!! Get more defenders to help Mitch
I want these 2 players, either Mikal Bridges or Paul George
Randle is balling I think Randle would show up for the playoffs this season. GO KNICKS
Give me Terry Rozier.
The best ability is availability. I've been in on Mitchell Robinson since I was watching his high school videos and hoping that the league would look past a guy who didn't play in college and that he would fall to us. I was happy when we got him in the second round and hoped he would turn out to be a second round steal. Mitch has turned out to be more than I could have reasonably hoped for. We have him on a value contract, and he has all NBA defense potential, but the injuries are real and Hartenstein has blossomed into a starter level center with a more versatile skillset. He can't bring what Mitch does, but he does enough, and he also adds an element that Mitch can't bring to the team offensively. Most importantly, he is less injury prone and is more reliable when it comes to health. Having both might turn out to be a luxury we can't afford if we want to continue to improve the team.
Been said never start mitch we need upgrade trade mitch kepp him on bench i said dam near everything i dont want him on the knicks stupid ass dolan tibs leon.we stuck with mitch tibs loves him and leon.mitch is great for bench he will always be less then 20 mill a year………………….
Voting sucks.so good luck with that.
