00:00 And the deadline is now shut down and all the trades have been made and no one cares.
00:09 Well yeah I mean I guess that's pretty much what we can say.
00:12 It's a lot of a lot of spare parts right.
00:15 I mean there was never going to be any big name that got traded today but all I've seen
00:21 the reaction today Scotty is that the Knicks were the big winner.
00:26 The Knicks were the biggest winner today.
00:29 They've got all these guys who can shoot now.
00:31 The Knicks are deep.
00:33 They have this after getting Bogdanovich and Alec Burks.
00:35 Did they have him once before and they got rid of him.
00:39 Now he's back with the Knicks and they had to pay significantly more now to have him.
00:44 But the Knicks are the big winner allegedly today.
00:47 Well first of all Burks can shoot.
00:50 He can score and so can Bogdanovich without a doubt.
00:56 I'm not going to sit here and say you know I heard today people literally saying that
01:02 they were now championship caliber team like that they were you know they could win it
01:10 all.
01:11 They could go to the Eastern Finals.
01:13 They could go to the NBA Finals that they are a title team like that they're aspiring
01:19 to be a championship team and that now they have the final pieces to win a championship
01:24 and they will no more win a championship with Bogdanovich and Burks as the first time they
01:30 had him.
01:31 They had Burks before and he poured it in and they still sucked.
01:34 And the deal is I don't deny that the Knicks are better.
01:40 I won't deny that they've had a very decent season.
01:45 But I'm not going to sit here and act like they're good or something because look where
01:50 they are in the East and you're telling me that Bogdanovich if he was so good then why
01:57 are the Pistons so awful.
01:59 I mean honestly like he could pour in 35 a night from deep right but they never win.
02:04 So all I've heard about is the experience and the shooting that they're going to have
02:08 now.
02:09 Let me tell you what the Knicks are.
02:10 The Knicks are Jalen Brunson's team and he's not going to pass to them.
02:18 It's his team.
02:19 He scores all the points.
02:21 He gets to the line and then let's face facts.
02:25 He didn't want to give it to RJ Barrett and he didn't want to give it to quickly.
02:30 He wants you know I think he's certainly the only player on a team that matters with the
02:37 pick and roll with Randall.
02:39 Randall's out.
02:40 When he's out then it's just Brunson only.
02:42 And I know people say oh Quentin Grimes.
02:45 They didn't need Quentin Grimes.
02:47 Quentin Grimes is Alec Burks.
02:49 I mean am I wrong.
02:50 Carver Idley literally they can both shoot and that's all they do.
02:54 Alex Burks let's face facts.
02:56 I would say he's relatively I don't deny he can shoot but relatively speaking he's he's
03:02 a veteran player.
03:03 He's not like some speedster some guy that goes to the other end and makes incredible
03:07 defensive stops and does amazing things off of the glass and runs in transition.
03:11 To me both of them all they do is shoot.
03:14 They're both pure shooters.
03:15 That's all they do and that's it.
03:18 And they already have a guy that scores all the points.
03:20 So you got all these pure shooters.
03:21 And really what it boils down to me is that they have a bench now.
03:25 They have a bench now.
03:26 But the fact is is Brunson never comes out of the game.
03:29 He plays 40 plus minutes a night anyway.
03:31 So when he never sits what are they going to be doing picking their nose on the sideline
03:35 with Tom Thibodeau who always runs seven guys maximum.
03:40 Is that about right.
03:41 And let's face facts.
03:44 They've never won with Randall.
03:46 They won one playoff series and everyone acts like they're going to the NBA finals.
03:51 They won the first round last year lost to the Heat.
03:53 That was it.
03:54 Game over.
03:55 What did they do when they won 54 games.
03:56 They won one round and lost in the second round again.
03:59 They have to win a second round and get to the Eastern Conference finals.
04:03 If they win a second round Mike I'll start talking to you about the Knicks are good.
04:07 And I love the Knicks and I watch every game and I've you know I've been a Knick fan forever.
04:12 Like I'm looking at 25 straight years of futility is what I'm looking at.
04:16 You cannot tell me that those two guys are going to win them a championship.
04:20 There is no way.
04:22 I'm sorry.
04:23 Bogdanovich has been in the league forever.
04:25 What has he done besides nothing.
04:26 He only does is shoot and score.
04:28 That's it.
04:29 But he doesn't he don't win.
04:31 No he does not.
04:33 They did drop underneath 20.
04:34 I saw them go down to 18 to 1 to win the whole thing now.
