@TheDunkCentral @JLEdwardsIII We’d like an even bigger dude like this too. Like 6’8 +

@TheDunkCentral @JLEdwardsIII I really don’t get it. Do the Knicks not have sufficient small guards? Is Alvarado’s offensive bag actually that significantly better than Kolek’s? Contemplating Koleks passing capability I’d say it’s virtually a wash. On prime of that he’s enjoying like 15 min a gm, what’s tha gna appear like within the

New York is reportedly Alvarado to assist their backcourt depth and defensive toughness, notably as a secondary ball handler behind Jalen Brunson. His defensive vitality, capability to hound opposing guards and his standing as a New York native would make him an interesting “tradition match” in Madison Sq. Backyard.

Alvarado has a comparatively low present wage, $4.5 million per Spotrac. Additionally his expiring contract, he signed a two-year, $9 million contract with the New Orleans Pelicans, makes him a neater match beneath the Knicks’ cap scenario than many bigger-name choices.

Backyard Sports activities Corp James Dolan signaled that the Knicks gained’t make a “main personnel transfer” earlier than the Feb. 6 commerce deadline, though the membership is chasing a deep playoff run this season.

The emergence of Kolek working the second unit would possibly cut back the urgency so as to add one other backup level guard. This might shift their focus to larger wants like frontcourt or wing depth as an alternative. There’s chatter about transferring Guerschon Yabusele to clear wage or facilitate different strikes, with rumors together with potential curiosity from the Denver Nuggets.
