00:00Do you feel like the Knicks have a better chance of winning a chip with this core or trading some key guys to win a chip with Giannis on the roster?
00:08If the OKC Thunder are healthy and they get into the NBA Finals and the Knicks get into the NBA Finals with their team, I don't think they can beat the Thunder.
00:17So we're talking about championship. Now, I think the Knicks roster as constructed can get to the NBA Finals.
00:23But remember, when they fired Tom Thibodeau, the message was we are singularly focused on winning a championship.
00:29They didn't say we are singularly focused on getting to the NBA Finals.
00:33And if you get Giannis Antetokounmpo, that raises your ceiling.
00:37It gives you a chance to compete against the likes of the OKC Thunder.
00:41Now, listen, it lowers the floor because you're going to have to give up a lot to get them.
00:45Guys might get injured. And now all of a sudden you're having an entire different conversation about, well, we're in trouble here.
00:51We just traded everything. And, you know, the guy's injured and not playing.
00:55So it would be a risky move. But in my opinion, if you are going for the championship, the guy that can get you there is Giannis.
