New York franchise intends to fill the squad until the trade deadline, which takes place on February 8th, being one of the most talked about in the league
It looks like the trading season is going to be very exciting until the end. This is because the New York Knicks has been one of the teams most involved in rumors within the NBA, and there may be many new players arriving to increase the squad. According to the journalist Fred Katzfrom “The Athletic”, the franchise of New York are considering negotiating Quentin Grimes and would have nine candidates in their sights to fill the squad for the remainder of the season.
“Some players who fit this description include: Malcolm Brogdon of the Portland Trail Blazers, Jordan Clarkson and Collin Sexton of the Utah Jazz, Terry Rozier of the Charlotte Hornets, Bruce Brown and TJ McConnell of the Indiana Pacers, Bogdan Bogdanović of the Atlanta Hawks, Caris LeVert of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Tim Hardaway Jr of the Dallas Mavericks”said the journalist.
However, one of the names mentioned has already been involved in a negotiation. Last Wednesday, 17th, bruce brown was part of the package that took Pascal Siakam for the Indiana Pacersnow becoming a player of the Toronto Raptors. On the other hand, some are still players who appear in trade rumors. But others, like Caris LeVert It is Tim Hardaway Jrwere little talked about until then.
It is worth remembering that the team lost one of its starters due to injury. Mitchell Robinson He is at risk of missing the entire regular season and playoffs due to the injury. So, a big-time player would be exactly what the franchise would be looking for. However, Katz doesn’t rule out some for the perimeter either.
“The Knicks have been less aggressive in their search for a center than they have been in their search for a facilitator, league sources said. Especially with the hope surrounding the return of Mitchell Robinson. Frustrations over the lack of success continue to mount in Atlanta. This leaves the Hawks open to virtually any offers that come their way. For Capela, several teams competing in the playoffs have already shown interest. The Knicks are still interested in adding a center alongside Isaiah Hartenstein at the trade deadline.”he commented.
