After weeks of speculation, there’s only one week remaining until the 2023 NBA trade deadline. Soon enough, fans will know what the New York Knicks’ plans are. Will New York trade Cam Reddish? Will a team be desperate enough to acquire Evan Fournier? Will Derrick Rose go to a contender?

Right now, there are more questions than answers, especially when it comes to players that the Knicks could trade for. Recently, there’s been several players that New York has reportedly expressed interest in, with the most prominent one being OG Anunoby.

Let’s dive into the rumors that New York has been linked to over the past few days and decide which ones are worth buying.

3. Knicks eyeing Pistons wing Saddiq Bey

According to SNY’s Ian Begley, New York has recently expressed interest in Detroit forward Saddiq Bey as a “backup wing.” Bey is averaging 14.6 points and is shooting a career-low 34.3% from three this season.

The Pistons don’t seem to be actively shopping Bey, but he’s reportedly drawn interest from several teams, including the Heat. He’s in his third year in the league after being drafted No. 19 overall in 2020, so him being only 23 makes him a more lucrative trade target for rival teams. Bey is signed through the 2023-24 season and has a $6.5 million qualifying offer in 2024-25.

In December, Yahoo Sports’ Jake Fischer reported that it would take an unprotected first-round pick to pry Bey away from Detroit. That’s a deal that New York could do. However, are the Pistons willing to send off young talent in exchange for an unproven draft pick? That’s the big question.

Bey would be a good acquisition for the Knicks, but at least for now, it doesn’t seem like Detroit is going to deal the young forward. For that reason, we’re going to pass on this rumor, although there’s a lot that can change between now and next Thursday.

Verdict: Sell
