SELLING Yabusele & Dadiet: The Knicks #1 Target Makes Perfect Sense

The New York Knicks weigh tough trade decisions as front-office focus shifts to Guerschon Yabusele and Pacome Dadiet. Can the Knicks flip an underperforming bench asset and a young player with promise for perimeter defense or playoff-caliber depth before the deadline, or will their title window narrow further?

Gavin Schall and XJ assess the Knicks’ shaky rotation, debating whether Mike Brown can trust Jordan Clarkson or Yabusele come playoff time. The show examines possible trade scenarios, floating names like Haywood Highsmith, Max Christie, Jaden Hardy, Keon Ellis, and Quentin Grimes, while dissecting the value of the Wizards' "first round pick." With Kevin McCullar Jr. and Tyler Kolek emerging as potentially reliable options, does New York have enough talent to weather its bench struggles, or does a bold move loom? Don’t miss expert insights on the Knicks’ strategy, trade targets, and evolving postseason outlook.
