With the trade deadline a few weeks away, the Knicks are now planning what moves they want to make, what players they want to add, and what positions they want to fill. And according to all the latest reports, they continue to indicate that at the trade deadline, New York will be adding a backup point guard to this roster. Shout out to Knicks insider Ian Begley for giving us this following update. According to him, if I’m making a guess today, I’m guessing that the Knicks look for veteran point guards on the trade market before they look for frontline help. Remember, the Knicks signed Malcolm Brogden in September with the hope that he’d be their backup point guard. They’ve had to go to plan B once Brogden retired. And plan B for the Knicks has been point guard by committee. Okay, so now we know that the Knicks are looking for a backup point guard at the trade deadline. The next question is, what player are they targeting? Well, thanks to Ian Begley, we have that information as well. According to Begley, the Knicks are getting by with a point guard by committee approach, but I think there is still a desire internally to add a backup point guard behind Jaylen Brunson. Who is that player? I’m not sure. Sacramento seems like a team that will be open for business ahead of the trade deadline. Javon Carter is in the final year of his contract in Chicago, but the Bulls clearly value the veteran point guard. I’m sure there will be other options on the trade market in the coming weeks. Begley continues here by stating, “Anyway, the trade market will materialize in earnest over the next 3 to four weeks. It will be interesting to see which teams sell and which players become available between now and early February. I’ve said this before, but I feel the need to say it again. I think New York should add a wing to this team, someone who can help in the front court and help the Knicks defensively. We could use another ball handler for sure, but I’d rather help the Knicks front court and some of the Knicks defensive issues. And I think if New York adds a wing, that’s how you do that. But clearly, according to Ian Begley, they are not thinking about bigs. They are not thinking about wings. Right now, more than any other position, they’re looking at the backup point guard position. And if they go in that direction, one player on their radar is Bulls point guard Javon Carter. And if you don’t know who Javon Carter is, let me tell you why. As a Nick fan, you are absolutely going to love him. Number one, he’s a veteran. He’s not a rookie. He has played in the NBA for a number of years now. Number two, he is defensiveminded. He is one of the better players on the Bulls roster. But even better than that, he can shoot the three. Yes, he can hit open threes. He can shoot three-pointers and make them. He is great off the bench for New York if they’re able to get him. And he can also playmake a little bit, get other players involved, and like Ian Begley said, he is in the final year of his contract. So for whatever the reason may be, if it doesn’t work out between Carter and the Knicks, New York can just wave him at the end of the season. No harm done, and they can look at other players they want to add to this team. But in my opinion, for what the Knicks are looking to do this season, if they are refusing to play Tyler Kak, to play Kevin McCuller Jr., to give some of these younger Knick players a chance, and they only want to build through adding veteran players, I’m not going to be mad at them for adding a player like Javon Carter. And apparently, his trade value is on the rise, and Carter is now a player the Bulls might be most willing to part with. When Javon Carter picked up his 6.8 million player option with the Chicago Bulls over the off season, it limited Chicago’s roster flexibility. But the 6’1 guard has since reminded everyone just how impactful he can be. Even on the Bulls, Carter’s trademark is still defense. In each of his last two seasons, he has finished near the top of the Bulls leaderboard in defensive rating. In his last season with the Milwaukee Bucks, 2022 2023, Carter also showed offensive potential as a knockdown shooter. That season, he shot an incredible 42% from three on four attempts per game. Very impressive volume and efficiency for a backup point guard. He was able to truly fill the moniker of a 3 and D point guard that year. It’s important to remember Javon Carter isn’t a maestro at point guard who bends defense with his scoring and playmaking, but he is a steady hand who gets the ball to teammates in the right spots and rarely makes mistakes. Listen to this. His careerhigh in turnovers per game is one. One turnover. That’s exactly the type of contribution you want from a veteran point guard in limited playing time off the bench, which is the exact role Carter would play if he was traded to this Knicks team. Now, I know what you’re thinking. If Carter makes 6.8 million, which player on this Knicks roster would we have to trade to get as close to that salary match as possible? And there is one player on this team that I believe gets the Knicks very close to that salary and that’s Gerson Yabaselli. Now I do not believe New York will be moving him at the deadline. However, if they feel a player is available and they really like that player and they think that player could be a gamecher for them this season, then they will do whatever it takes to get that player on this team. And if that means giving up on Yabaselli and moving him Leon Rose in this Knicks front office, they might have to do that. It’s going to be up to Yabaselli though. It’s going to be up to him to prove his value and his worth on this Knicks team. And he has a few weeks left to do it. But if he can’t do it, he could be on the trading block come the trade deadline. Only time will tell. And honestly, it’s going to come down to Yabaseli’s value. And since his value is so low right now, it’s unlikely New York will actually move him. Because if you move him, what are you going to get back? What are you going to get back that’s going to help you this season in your championship run? If the answer is really not much, then you have your answer there. It’s unlikely that New York trades Yabaselli, but it’s not impossible. a lot of moves at the deadline. They’re not impossible for New York, especially if they help the Knicks get one step closer to reaching a championship. And speaking about winning a championship, shout out to channel sponsor FanDuel, America’s number one sports book, for giving us this updated information and these latest odds on who’s going to win the NBA Finals this season. And as you can see, things have changed a lot on this list. One thing that hasn’t changed though is OKC still remaining on top. They’re at plus 155 and still remain number one on this list. After them, it’s the Denver Nuggets. They’re at plus 650. Then the Cleveland Cavaliers, they’re at plus 950. Then you have the Houston Rockets. They’re at plus 1,000. Then you have the Lakers, they’re at plus,400. Yes, you see that, right? You have the New York Knicks rounding out this list as number six on this list at plus500. If New York can put together a very long win streak, which is definitely a possibility, I promise you, New York’s odds, they will jump all the way back up. Another way for the Knicks to improve these odds is to make the right moves come the trade deadline. And clearly, according to Ian Begley’s latest reporting, the New York Knicks will be targeting a backup point guard at the trade deadline. And after they get a backup point guard, who knows what they’re going to target next. They might not be done. They might be looking for some front line helps getting a wing or another backup center. Who knows what Leon Rose and this Knicks front office is going to do. But one thing we know more than anything else, come the trade deadline, New York will be looking at a number of moves that they want to make. And I guarantee you before the trade deadline ends, New York will be adding another player to this team. And all signs are pointing to that player being a backup veteran point guard. But what about you guys? What do you think about the Knicks potentially adding a backup point guard at the trade deadline? And one name that has come up recently is Chicago Bulls point guard Javon Carter. Let me know how you feel about that addition in the comments section below, guys, because honestly, I would love to hear from you. But that’s going to do it for this episode. I hope you enjoyed it.

We have a major update on the Knicks trade plans! Knicks Insider Ian Begley with SNY recently reported that at the trade deadline the Knicks will be looking to add a veteran point guard to the roster. He then linked a point guard from the Eastern Conference to New York if he should be available at the deadline. In my opinion, if the Knicks are not going to utilize their younger players this season, then the only way to get better and improve the team in case of injury is to add the right veteran players. And it looks like New York is on the right track in doing that by targeting Chicago Bulls point guard Jevon Carter. But adding a backup point guard may not be the only thing the Knicks are looking to do at the deadline… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!
