NY Knicks: 5 Superstars who could force trades to NY

NY Knicks trade target #3 – Damian Lillard

Damian Lillard is my personal favorite non-Knicks player in the league today.

Someone needs to do this guy a favor and get him the heck out of Portland immediately.
The organization has proven time and time again that they can’t attract the free agents necessary to pair “Dame” with to help him beat the big baddies in this league.

Even when Portland makes trades meant to help Lillard, it usually blows up in their face (i.e. the Robert Covington trade).

While there have been some rumors of a possible CJ McCollum trade to the Knicks, and we here at Daily Knicks thought it would be an ideal fit, perhaps the Knicks could steal the other, much more talented All-Star caliber guard away from Rip City.

It seems like Dame has been in the league forever, but in reality, he’s only just turning 31 years old this summer and is still in his prime for another few seasons.

Pairing him with a Julius Randle and potentially another formidable all-star level talent would make the Knicks a force to be reckoned with.

The Knicks have had point guard woes for what feels like the last 20 years.

If they traded for Damian Lillard, it would fill the hole on the roster and in my heart for the next 6-7 years potentially.

It would take an absolute King’s ransom to net the former Weber State product, but if anyone in this league is worth it, it’s Damian Lillard.
