The New York Knicks have a rare opportunity to make a trade and save the 2016-17 NBA regular season. Which options should the Knicks consider?

The New York Knicks continue to be one of the most disappointing teams in the NBA. Since beginning the 2016-17 NBA regular season at 16-13, the Knicks have dropped 11 of 13 and fallen to 18-24.

Though some may refrain from entering the realm of trade talk and speculation, it stands to reason that a move needs to be made.

42 games into the 2016-17 NBA regular season, the Knicks are still suffering from the same issues that plagued them in October. The defense ranks amongst the worst in the NBA, the ball doesn’t move as much as it should, and the effort has been inconsistent.

If the Knicks are going to turn this season around, then they must improve upon those three critical points of emphasis.

It’s possible that change could come from within, but the organization must be proactive. As Jeff Hornacek and the players address the flaws at hand, the front office must consider the potential for moves to be made.

The question is: what are the realistic trade options that could save the Knicks from another disastrous season?
