Insider Drops BOMBSHELL Knicks Trade Report…

An NBA insider has dropped a bombshell New York Knicks trade report. And this is absolutely insane and exactly what Nick Knicks fans have wanted to see for a while with multiple Knicks players being mentioned in trade talks. Now they have found exactly who they want to trade for and they actually have been in negotiations regarding this process as well. We’re going to break it all down. You’ve seen the face on the thumbnail. You’ve seen the face in the intro. You probably know who we’re about to talk about, guys. So, we shouldn’t waste any time. Real quick, if you are part of that 56% that’s not subscribed to Nick’s Digest, make sure to subscribe because we have daily videos coming out and we are giving you multiple videos a day keeping you up to date with everything regarding the New York Knicks every single day. But let’s jump into the video, guys, because there’s a lot to go over right now as the New York Knicks see trade season coming up very, very soon. And because of that, they plan on making some moves. There has been a lot of trade talks already surrounding the Knicks. As we know, they’ve had interest in Jose Alvarado as well. But on top of that, the Knicks are bringing back or interested in bringing back one of the team’s best one-year wonders, probably the best one-year wonder the team ever had. Someone who they really didn’t want to get rid of, but ultimately had to for reasons we will get into in Dante D. Vancenzo. Dante was electric with the Knicks and was part of the Nova Knicks squad. You could see him in the shirt right now. But with having JB, Josh Hart, male, and Dante, I’m trying to show all you right now, but the mic’s blocking it a little bit. But look, with the Knicks right now, this is exactly what we’ve wanted to see. We know the Knicks have had long interest in Danchenzo. They never wanted to trade Dante. The reason the Knicks traded Dante Danchenzo was because the Timberwolves didn’t want the same package the Knicks offered, but instead of Dante, Mitchell Robinson. So, the Knicks eventually folded when the Timberwolves countered for Danchenzo. The Timberwolves did come in second for trying to sign Danchenzo in the offseason that he was a free agent in 2023. So with that in mind, they were happy to land him. However, now things are starting to change a little bit. As mentioned by Chris Persian and league sources have told clutch points that the Knicks have had exploratory discussions with two Western Conference teams about potential trades with New Orleans with the New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado and the Minnesota Timberwolves guard Dante Danchenzo at the center of various trade proposals meaning the Knicks have sent trade proposals and also we’ll get into some more that those proposals later because look Dante is still that guy putting up 13 points per game, four rebounds and 3.7 assists with a steal per game. Denenzo has been nothing short of phenomenal, shooting 41% from the field and 38% from three with 77% of his shots coming from behind the arc this season. Devanchenzo is the lone shooter on the Minnesota Timberwolves, but the Wolves are known to want to be making some changes going forward for the team. Julius Randle has also found himself in some trade conversations as well. So with that in mind, the Knicks, they are pouncing on Denenzo right now. They see a chance to get him and a few reasons why they likely would be able to land Dante. Now Dante on the Knicks was again the man was amazing. Put up 15.5 points per game. He was essentially supposed to be some depth and turned into their starting shooting guard pretty quickly replacing Quentyn Grimes. And DVA was awesome. He put up 15 and a half points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, shot 44% from the field and 40% from three. The man was absolutely excellent. He did everything that you possibly could have wanted Dante Denzo to do on the floor for the team. And every single time he stepped on the floor, he gave it 110%. He made those 50/50 balls, 7525 balls in the Knicks favor because he was diving for everything. He was not afraid to do the dirty work. He was getting up. He was ready to scrap. He was really a huge part of that Knicks team’s soul. When the Knicks ended up making some changes, including watching Hartinstein have to leave because the money situation and trading Dante D. Vanchenzo, it did feel like the Knicks started to lose a bit of the identity that they had. The team felt more corporate the last year and a half. And though they’ve been better than ever and absolutely all the moves that they’ve made have looked correct based off the way the team has played, there is still that bit of that New York grit that we feel like could be added to and nobody would add more to it than Dante D. Venenzo given Jose Alvarado would be also good for that. But Danchenzo, we know how he’s reacted to playing in New York. He saw the big moments and he got up for it. And especially in the playoffs, Danchenzo averaged 18 points per game, four rebounds, and 2.6 six assists, shooting 42 and a half% from three, including putting up a 40 ball in the game the Knicks would ultimately get eliminated by the Indiana Pacers in when every single Knick was injured, including Jaylen Brunson, Josh Hart was hurt, Isaiah Hartenstein got hurt, Mitchell Robinson was out, Julius Randall was out, OGA Nobi was out, the whole team was injured. Literally every starter on the Knicks outside of Danchenzo ended up hurt. And D.Va the entire game was cashing threes, playing good defense, calling to want that matchup on Tyrese Hallebertton and talking trash the entire time. He never quit. He didn’t have an ounce of quit in him. And DVO did everything you could have possibly wanted out of that playoff run. Now, here’s where things get interesting. Danchenzo makes 11.9 million per year this year. Next year, it’s going to go up and it’s going to be harder for the Knicks to trade for Dante. So, they see it as a now or never situation. On top of that, the Minnesota Timberwolves are a bit weary of trade of resigning D. Venenzo because in case DVO does want a pay raise and also the fact that when you look at the Timberwolves are already in the second apron they don’t really have room to pay Dante Danchenzo more money. They don’t have that. That’s between having Randall for now and they’re going to have to match salary to trade him having Anthony Edwards having Jaden McDaniels and Rudy Gobear on massive contracts and also having young guys who they believe can start to replace a few of these veterans who they find a little bit more expendable. The Timber are going to have to make some changes. Now, the Knicks financial situation isn’t great, but Minnesota’s is worse. And because of that, the Knicks do see a pathway to bringing Dante back to the team. Now, it would cost something heavy on the Knicks to pull this off because the way their financials are listed, but stay tuned on this page because there is more to come with this situation cuz Persian did mention this. He did talk about the fact that it would not be easy for the Knicks to trade for Dante as he said a reunion with Danchenzo, however, would be more complicated than one with than acquiring Alvarado. His salary of almost $12 million necessitates New York trading away a package of more than just young players or recently eligible veterans. And by that he does mean a specific package. Now Persian also did mention that this conversation though it’s not new. The Knicks and the Timberwolves clearly have something in mind here that’s kept them talking to each other. As he said, New York’s interest in a reunion with its Villanova educated playoff hero dates back to last season when the team had some internal discussions about reacquiring Danchenzo. The sharpshooter played one season with the Knicks, setting a franchise record for three-pointers made in both a single game and a single season in that time. The Timberwolves are said to have some interest in the protected first round pick that the Knicks are owed by the Washington Wizards. According to league sources, that pick is protected and if it ends up being any of the drafts first eight selections, the daunting second apron has made assets look like these look increasingly desirable to teams that look for any possible way to duck severe tax penalties. Now, if it’s top eight, which we expect the Wizards to have a top eight pick in the draft, it will get conveyed to two second round picks. However, that’s cheap players for Minnesota, who has no choice but to start adding cheap young players who they don’t have to pay a lot of money because their financial situation is really, really terrible. It’s one of the reasons, the main reason why they opted to trade Carl Anthony Towns away in the first place. However, this situation still hasn’t rectified itself and it’s not going to. So, it makes things really, really difficult. Now, on top of that, obviously, it puts the Knicks in a situation to land Dante Danchenzo. And when we look just at the man himself and at the possible trades, there are a few different ones that we could really talk about here. I mean, the Knicks legally can do Yabule, Deuce McBride, Pakome Doier, and a 2026 firstrounder. A trade that Timberwolves would likely accept due to financial situations and getting that Wizards pick. However, the Knicks would be down to 12 players then. They there are contracts cheaper than Tyler Kolix and the Knicks would have to trade Kolick for someone who is on a cheaper contract. Contracts are going to go down to $1.2 million. Kolic makes $2.1 million. So, if they trade that, they are still at 12 players, but they have more money to work with. The Knicks in that situation then also get to have a tiny bit more money. They can add someone on a two-way contract. Whether that’s probably going to be Kevin McCuller Jr. because he’d be the cheapest one, but also it could be Toon Ama, could be Trey Gemson, whoever they choose to op to opt for. There’s that. Or the route that feels a little bit more likely is trading Mitch in that first round pick for Danchenzo. The Knicks have Mitchell Robinson on an expiring contract. Expiring contracts are good for teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves. The thing is, they would have to find a different way to do this because ultimately the Timberwolves, they can’t take back more money than they ask for. So, this would have to turn into some three-team trade evidently where Mitch gets shipped to a third team. I know shipping Mitchell Robinson for Dante Danchenzo is risky. The Knicks don’t have a ton of big men and they would have to figure out that situation, which is totally understandable. At the same time, it’s it’s a move the Knicks are going to consider because Mitch is expiring and the Knicks are very unsure if they want to pay Mitchell Robinson where they’re finally paying Danchenzo for the next two years. It’s a risk. No doubt it is a risk and I’m not pretending like it’s not. However, the Knicks want Danchenzo back. They’re a little iffy on Mitchell Robinson. And also if they could pull it off, trading Yabule, trading PCOM, trading Deuce, getting Dante, trading Tyler Kick for a cheaper player, probably a big man of some sort or at least a forward of some sort and then having the money to go into free agency and adding a big man, maybe like a Jeremiah Robinson Earl or something just to cover themselves while they try to find another trade to land a true proven rim protector. That’s really the situation that we’d be looking at right now. Obviously, it’s a lot to give up for Dante Danchenzo, but also at the same time when we just look at this situation, when we look at this man, there is something that we do have to remember. He’s still the guy that did this top to Devenzo. His shot won’t go. Harden bound. Hardenstein gets it out to Anobi. Devontry. Bang. Bang. Knicks top. It was one of the greatest moments in Knicks history. Best moment in my playoff life watching the Knicks play. I really think the Knicks are going to push hard for Dvenenzo. I’d be surprised if they don’t. And I do, as I’ve said before, I really do think Denzo will find his way back in a uniform while the Knicks are trying to win a championship. DVO wants it, the Knicks want it. It’s easy to get things done when that’s the case. What do you guys think? What would you package for Dante Denzo? Let me know that in the comments down below. Do you want to see him back? Would you be willing to trade Mitch for him? Let me know. Like this video, subscribe, turn on post notifications. Have a wonderful, wonderful Friday, guys. Happy weekend. Happy Santa Con to those who will be celebrating tomorrow, like me. If you see some giant in a Coors Light jumpsuit, it very likely might be me.
