Five members of the New York Knicks have surfaced on the open market. Who’s garnering trade interest and what might they command as a return?


The New York Knicks are roughly two weeks away from the 2018 NBA trade deadline. During that peculiar window that will feel both transient and eternal, the Knicks will be tasked with fielding and evaluating trade offers, as well as presenting packages of their own design.

While there may be roughly two weeks until the deadline, that hasn’t prevented rival executives from expressing interest in New York’s current assets.

It was all but inevitable that the Knicks would surface as a franchise that could be active at the 2018 NBA trade deadline. Whether or not there’s substance, the organization is included in trade rumors on a yearly basis.

The difference between the 2017-18 campaign and other seasons, however, is that the Knicks are actually in a position to be both buyers and sellers.

Only time will tell which path the organization chooses to follow, if either at all. Being in the first year of a legitimate rebuild has set the wheels in motion for the Knicks to flip veterans for draft picks, but being within reach of the postseason has some pondering if New York should acquire a star.

The question is: Which members of the New York Knicks have garnered trade interest and what could they command on the open market?
