[Scotto] The Knicks and Suns were among the teams who had trade discussions surrounding former Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan prior to the trade deadline, as I previously reported on @hoopshypeofficial
Could you imagine the amount of crash outs in a Pistons-Knicks series if they paired Sochan with Alvarado? Christ.
Beef stew and Ron Holland vs Alvarado and Sochan in a tornado tag match.
Specifically under Texas death rules
At the ALAMO
I was thinking of Sochan and Stewart lmao but that’s a good one too
Brooks and Sochan let’s doooo this
Man, a lineup of Gillespie, Goodwin, Allen, Brooks, and Sochan in spurts would be maximum chaos.
I would be PUMPED if they were able to get him.
Gillespie over Book?
not as chaotic
Book’s definitely got in his fair share of altercations though.
I can hear the sound of Beef Stew getting excited
Definitely would fit in the type of guys the Suns are after and want to play
Excited for Sochan to get a new start
Alvarado + Sochan as hounds off the bench would be a lot of fun
Spurs were running Keldon with Sochan off the bench earlier in the season and they’d inject absolute chaos with their energy
I think the interest might not be as strong since they acquired Alvarado. Im also guessing they were trying to dump yabuseles contract for sochans.
Interest would def be strong we lack size on our team
Could be, I’m just saying their interest in the trade deadline was at least partially to dump future salary.
How is that relevant here when sochan will sign on a min. Deal for the rest of the year?
Our trade deadline trade actually made it so that we can sign a guy to an nba contract right now as opposed to early april since we have slightly more cap space available
If Sochan can rebound he already can get minutes. We have a center that can only do that and defend while being one of the worst free throw shooters. Between Kat fouling out and Mitch being injury prone Sochan would be a great addition for just a few more bodies. Knicks also seem to value anybody who works hard regardless of their skillset.
Brother has the coolest hair colors known to man😂
Rivals peak Rodman
He should sign with Denver if they have the money. They have enough offense to hide him on that end. Hell provide good defense which they need.
They can get him if he waits a bit. I mean they can get him, but they want to dodge the tax so yeah
Makes sense for the Suns.
tbh we were just looking for anybody to give us an expiring in exchange for yabu. you could be the worst player in the nba, dont matter.
Idk why we didn’t do it if we knew Yabusele was going to decline his option for next year
It should be pretty obvious that Yabu would have only waived next years option with the assurance of meaningful playing time, something Chicago could promise but Spurs could not going at least 9 (more likely 10 the way Carter Bryant is now playing) deep ahead of where Yabu would be in the pecking order.
He wasn’t just going to waive guaranteed money to any team out of the goodness of his heart.
Great point. He was def out of shape to start the season, but he also just wasn’t a fit for our roster and style of play. On the Bulls he at least has the opportunity to show his stuff
He probably would decline his option for the Bulls but not the Spurs.
Yeah that would make sense if the bulls promised to give him a certain amount of minutes
Suns could really use him.
Seems like it’s the Knicks
Sochan on an already scrappy defensive Suns would be fun.
Sochan, brooks, Goodwin, and dunn would be fun to watch defensively
He should go to the Suns. More playing time there, team unexpectedly on the rise. Plus, if he likes leave in the SW, not as big a shift as going out East.
Doubt we go for him. Rotation is pretty locked up, idk why we would’ve looked at him in the first place when Mo is playing so well
Mainly because Mo is still an inexperienced rookie and having Sochan to play against certain matchups or when Mo is struggling would be good.
TC can we get him pls
honestly I’d get a Sochan jersey if he joins the Knicks, idk why but I just really like him lol
He’d be a worse version of Josh Hart.
yeah I’m not really thinking of any particular basketball reasons for wanting him on the team. just like his attitude and hair colours haha
Get ready for the loud and dumb part of your fanbase to hate his guts because he isn’t Steph Curry.
I think that would be a good get doe the Knicks now. They need some big wing depth. They mostly have OG and Diawara has been a great surprise. I know Sochan has had it rough the last couple seasons but wouldn’t hurt to pick him up for depth.
I’d be interested. Hopefully could set solid screens. even have some freedom to create on offense.
Please god Lakers get him he has so much of what we missing
Hair?
God please no
I’ve hated him ever since the 2022 NCAA tournament
To quote Connor McGregor: who the fool is this guy?
Knicks just picked up an undersized guard who can’t shoot, might as well get a wing that can’t shoot too
Jose can absolutely shoot lol
not according to his entire career of statistics
You think because Jose shoots 35% 3pt means he can’t shoot?Per minute he’s a fairly high volume streaky shooter that defenders aren’t gonna ignore.Doncic is a career 34% 3pt shooter albeit at a larger per minute volume but the numbers don’t tell you everything.
Doncic is doubled every possession and takes the most difficult shots in the league. What an entirely asinine comparison. Jose is a 35% career 3 point shooter on low volume. He isn’t a good shooter. Period.
Now you’re moving the goal posts from “can’t shoot” to “not a good shooter”.Like I said,Jose is just a very streaky hot and cold type shooter.You word it like he’s Amen Thompson or something.You leave him open and he’ll punish you more often than not.
He isn’t a good shooter.
Josh Hart isn’t a good dunker, but it’s factually incorrect to say that Josh Hart can’t dunk.
Mitchell Robinson can’t shoot. Jose Alvarado is right around league average from 3. “Can’t shoot” is an insane overstatement to describe Alvarado.
