Marcus Smart.
EL NEUVO DIARIO, NEW YORK.- The New York Knicks have not finished their work. If in a matter of months they have incorporated Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns, they are now shaping a scarce wardrobe that they also want to strengthen with a player who gives them energy and defense like Marcus Smart.
According to Kris Pursiainen from Knicks Film School, within the New York organization there has been discussion of the possibility of going for the Memphis Girzzlies guard, a team that in turn could welcome the landing of Mitchell Robinson in Tennessee; Of course, it should be accompanied by some more asset for them to accept the deal.
The truth is that Leon Rose seems determined to move the center, but it won’t be easy. After a 2023-24 season full of injuries and in which he was only able to play 31 games, at present he is still not recovered; What’s more, it is already assured that he will not be able to start the season that begins on October 21 on the hardwood.
As for Smart, it’s not like he’s coming off his best year either. Several physical problems also affected him so he could only play 20 games in which he averaged 14.4 points, 4.3 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 2 steals, all with 31.3 percent in triples. In any case, he could fit like a glove under the direction of Tom Thibodeau.
