Knicks News: MSGN considering broadcast addition, Damian Lillard trade rumors
No worries, New York Knicks fans. Mike Breen and Clyde Frazier aren’t going anywhere, but there could be an addition to the MSGN broadcast during away games.
New York Daily News’ Bob Raissman reported that the network is considering adding Jeff Van Gundy or Mark Jackson (subscription required) to the broadcast for games not played in New York. Frazier, who is 78, wants to cut back on travel but has still made himself available for home games.
The iconic Breen-Frazier broadcast isn’t going anywhere, but Van Gundy or Jackson could be thrown into the mix. ESPN laid off the former Knicks coach and player over the summer.
In the latest on Damian Lillard’s future, Yahoo Sports’ Jake Fischer reported the Raptors and Bulls are two of the top teams that have engaged in trade talks with the Trail Blazers. Fischer added that Toronto hasn’t included Scottie Barnes or Pascal Siakam in conversations. Siakam is eligible to sign an extension, and if he doesn’t, he’ll be an unrestricted free agent next summer.
