Knicks · Jordan Clarkson? (page 1)

We do need more bench scoring, and I'm guessing that Cam and Clarkson would work well.

https://empiresportsmedia.com/new-york-k...

Forbes’ Evan Sidery reported on Monday morning that the Knicks are among four teams seriously pursuing a trade for Utah Jazz star sixth-man Jordan Clarkson:

“The Clippers, Knicks, Lakers and Nuggets are among contending teams who have inquired about Jordan Clarkson on the trade market,” Sidery published on X. “The Jazz are seeking a promising prospect and/or draft capital in exchange for Clarkson.”

Clarkson won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year award in 2021. He’s a dynamic scorer who can bring shot creation, outside shooting, and tempo to a Knicks bench that desperately needs it. The 11-year veteran is currently averaging 15.1 points, 4.1 assists, and 1.9 three-pointers made per game off the Jazz’s bench

.

McBride is a better player on a way better contract. Clarkson is on the older side and has been pretty inefficient the last couple of years. I’m not sure I see the fit.

A more versatile scorer would be a good reason. Throwing different looks, because Deuce gets to the line about as much as Frank did.

We need players who can not just score but put the other team in foul trouble.

Leon the chef. Continues to cook.

How can anybody argue what Leon touches.

I have a feeling if Clarkson was a Knick, he will be praised by Knick faithfuls. He’s a microwave scorer. Inefficient sure. Can take over a game, yes. Nothing wrong with adding capable vets that understands their role.

The question is will Thibs even play these guys? 10 man rotation? I don’t see the mins for him, especially after signing shamet. I’ll stay out the kitchen until Leon is done with his deadline platter.

I would be happier if it worked out, but "I told you so" threads are fun too.

My Herb Jones / Mitch Robinson swap is probably not available but I am holding out hope there.

Clarkson is like the Kyle Kuzma of 6th men. The only reason he is in the conversation is that the salary match is easy with Mitch. But no Clarkson trade makes any sense for anyone other than Ainge. It’s like solving his problem and giving him draft compensation for raising his teams overall eFG. It’d be like my doctor paying me to lower my cholesterol.

Let the Lakers have him.

I feel like Knick interest in taking on 1.5-years at $14M of Clarkson is likely tied to Kessler because we'd likely have to use Mitch $ to get close to Clarkson $ and would think Knicks would look to replace Mitch with another big.

I feel like most overrate Deuce but wouldn't move him to Utah for Clarkson unless Kessler is tied to deal and even then not sure I love either Utah player

Thibs been testing out 4 man rotation in practice.

We literally have 1 player that can get into the paint and it takes him about 22 seconds to do so ---- think we need someone else that can put ball on floor and make plays in the lane.

+1. We are trading the best NBA bench player( defense , assists, shooting, friendly contract)for who again? Some inefficient chuker. Come on guys, you are better than that

Clarkson’s 40% from the field and 30% from 3 isn’t solving any of our problems, if any. Pretty much the top ranked offense in all shooting metrics and you want to hand the bench offense to a gunslinger that can’t shoot?

The idea that Jordan Clarkson is able to actually help this Knicks team is a joke made from fantasy basketball players that tanked fg%. Devoid of real world analytics.

Jordan Clarkson is the opposite of winning.

Clarkson won 6th man of the year, not so long ago. Put him on a legit contender, we might see that version.

I’m in the no camp

I don’t want to screw w chemistry unless it’s a no brainer and this isn’t that IMO

I don’t know a lot about Clarkson but he seemed to be a ball hog

27% usage.

Deuce, like RJ and IQ were our rook yoots with roots. Leon got to do what he got to do.
Nalod gets attached to them so I won't call for their trade. I'll run with it if it happens.
OG is a pleasure to watch and I like that RJ is "Home" with is parents especially with his brothers passing. IQ got his starting role and big money.
In the end it feels like it was meant to be.
Clarkston? I should be open minded. If Leon does it, what choice does one have?

I don't see the Knicks shopping for Clarkson as a means in itself but as part of a three team trade. Mitch goes somewhere, Clarkson somewhere else, and a wing back to us. Don't see us trading Mitch for another center, when we have Simms/Precious/Huk.

Unless Robinson is cooked, I don't see it. Robinson brings game changing defense and offensive rebounding, Clarkson would be taking possessions away from more efficient scorers. Robinson is probably best in limited minutes anyway. Clarkson needs minutes and shots.

Clarkson used to be good but he stinks now.
