Draymond Green Rips Knicks & Stephen A. Smith Actually Agrees With Him

Draymond Green thinks the trade of Mikal Bridges to the Knicks will be unsuccessful, and he may not be able to force the team into another rebuild.

“I don't think that team is good enough to beat Boston. He finally built a team that he hoped could beat Boston. And I don't think that team is going to beat Boston,” Green said The Draymond Green Show. “So he has a year or two with the Houston Rockets. I don't know if you remember the Rockets if we do [the Warriors] we were running away. … He's two years old and well, that didn't work. Clint Capela is gone. The first domino falls. And then if the first domino falls, that's it. It's gone from there. That's what I think will happen. That's how I see it playing out. If it doesn't work, that's exactly how it will play out. So hear it here first.”

Green is not done.

“The Knicks are in a position where they're headed, and I respect them, I think you have to take it at some point,” Green added. “But what's just happened with trades is you know if this doesn't work out in two to three years, the Knicks are going to rebuild because they trade all their ways, and then they try to trade those guys, get picks and that's kind of how it all plays out.”

“I'm sorry to the Knicks fans but that's how I think it's going to play out and I don't think it's an offense to Mikal who I think is like a top player in the NBA as you know he has standards. , but a good player. Jalen Brunson, All-NBA, Julius [Randle] has been All-NBA. Dont [DiVincenzo]nothing but love for Donte, OG [Anunoby], who is the champion. Actually no offense to any of those guys – I don't think that team is ready to beat Boston. “

Surprisingly, one of the biggest fans of the Knicks, Stephen A. Smith agreed with great humility and Green's take.

“You're right,” Smith agreed First Take. He explained that teams like Boston and the new-look 76ers stood in the way of the Knicks.

Remember, last month, SAS and other Knicks fans were angry with Green about New York making the playoffs.
