The NY Knicks are approaching March 25th, one of the most loved days throughout the NBA season the trade deadline. As the date draws near it’s evident that Knicks fans globally are heavily desiring that Leon Rose and the front office make a trade so they can try and improve the team as New York’s playoff push gets closer to the home stretch.

Despite all of this hoopla, what if the reality was that a trade isn’t actually what’s best for the Knicks. Think about it. A lot of New York fans seem to be wanting a trade that involves the return for an All-Star of sorts with the most popular names being Zach Lavine and Bradley Beal. If you look at the Eastern Conference standings, the Bulls and Wizards are not out of the playoff hunt and would definitely require their stars if a playoff appearance was indeed in their best interest.

Something else that must be comprehended is that the Knicks don’t have a clear-cut asset in terms of players that could be the centerpiece of a deal with any other team. It all must be taken into account that trades don’t always work out. Look at the Knicks Clippers trade from last season. The Knicks shipped Marcus Morris to Los Angeles for a first-round pick.

The Knicks ended up with top rookie Immanuel Quickley while Marcus Morris has struggled for the Clippers in his short tenure with the team. Trust me Knicks fans, there are other ways the Knicks can improve the team in the upcoming months that don’t require a trade. Here are three reasons why you shouldn’t get too invested in any trade possibilities.
