NY Knicks: “Pass or Pursue” on 3 recently rumored trade targets
By Mark Nilon
Though we may have officially made it to the 2020-21 All-Star break, the front office for the NY Knicks will most certainly not be taking a breather during this seven-day hiatus.
For the first time in seemingly forever, the franchise finds itself boasting a plus-.500 record of 19-18 and, like their fans, it appears as though they are hungry for more.
