With only a couple of days to go, the NY Knicks seem to be in no rush to make a move ahead of Thursday’s Trade Deadline.
Their only move so far was trading Kevin Knox to the Atlanta Hawks for Cam Reddish a few weeks ago, a move that clearly needs a follow-up trade to make it worthwhile for both the Knicks and Reddish.
Aside from freeing up minutes for the former Blue Devil, the Knicks are also in discussions to move on from certain veterans since the team has not performed up to expectations.
The players New York is rumored to be looking to move are Alec Burks, Kemba Walker, Evan Fournier, and Nerlens Noel.
Should the NY Knicks trade for any of these players?
Not only have each of these players had some mixture of injury issues and/or poor play, but most of them are perimeter players.
That’s certainly no coincidence. They all play a healthy dose of minutes, so moving any one of them will give Reddish his shot at the rotation.
But, who is to say the Knicks only trade one player?
In a scenario in which they trade two or more of those guys, it is fair to assume the Knicks will be adding a new player to the team.
It’s also fair to assume then that the Knicks would want to be adding a perimeter player if they are trading two such players in order to keep depth and avoid an empty roster spot.
This article will make the case for three perimeter players I believe the Knicks should be interested in if they go that route.
