00:00Getting their freak on, Knicks try to find a way to bring Giannis to New York City.
00:05I laughed at the getting the freak on part, but brace yourselves, ladies and gentlemen, because Valentine's Day.
00:10And the NBA trade deadline is right around the corner and things about to get messy around New York.
00:15But the Knicks have to go all in to make this happen.
00:20But don't confuse all in with desperate, because when you really look at what they're...
00:25going to have to do to make this trade happen, then you add their current record and who they're going to have to...
00:30give up.
00:30Yes, it does look desperate, but when you haven't been to the NBA Finals, let...
00:35let alone win one in 50 plus years and you're as close as you have...
00:40ever been since the 1990s, you don't put your toe in the water to feel the...
00:45temperature, you just jump right in.
00:47The Knicks have no real leverage in this situation, y'all.
00:50Except the fact that they're a franchise that Giannis has said that he wants to play for, not...
00:55the franchise, a franchise, and the teams that they're going to have to compete with.
01:00Miami Heat, to get them, they're going to have to give up more.
01:05zero first-round draft picks to really dangle in front of the Bucs and...
01:10only one valuable young prospect in a Deuce McBride who's, what, 25 years...
01:15old, somebody isn't going to get what they want and they're going to have to be okay with that.
01:20But I think this only happens if Giannis goes up to the Bucs front office...
01:25and demands to be traded to New York and New York only and that...
01:30that's when Leon Rose is going to have to make some decisions on who he's going to have to get...
01:35give up. But as long as it's not Mitchell Robinson, Jalen Brunson, or Josh Hart...
01:39I think the fans...
01:40fan base will go all in on the trade.
01:42For more on the Knicks and the Giannis saga, head on over to New York...
