I like him, but not really what we need right now unless Herb Jones is somehow coming with him.

I bleed orange and blue for life.

I keep going back and forth on this cause I really like Kolek but Alvarado has that grit and toughness we do not have. As long as it's a fair deal, I'm fine with it.

I know someone close to the situation...Was told Knicks and Pels were deep in negotiations and were close to closing the deal. This article sheds some light on the possible hold up...

The New Orleans Pelicans have been in trade talks before the deadline, but it's uncertain if anything will truly materialize. As players such as Zion Williamson, Trey Murphy III, and Herb Jones have gotten interest from teams, there are also other players on the roster who have garnered interest. One of them is Jose Alvarado, and it seems as if the New York Knicks have interest in him. Unfortunately for them, there's somebody who is holding up the trade, according to Brett Siegel of Clutch Points. “They still want Jose Alvarado, that is a very real possibility… but the Pelicans do not want to take on Guerschon Yabusele's contract,” Siegel said on Clutch Scoops.

Yabusele is on a two-year, $11 million deal with a player option for the second year. The Pelicans may think that Yabusele is going to accept his player option, which means he'll still be on their books if they trade for him.

The big thing is I wouldn’t expect a deal until late today or tomorrow since the Knicks play the back to back. I would think the front office wants to do their best to avoid trade distractions.

We get rid of useless Yabu and bring in someone who can help and it only cost us 2 2nds.
