4 Ever The Greatest
Was the recent acquisition of Derrick Rose a sign that the Knicks are ready to forget all about their rebuild mode ???? According to CBS Sports the Knicks are willing to trade away their young players and future draft picks to get a " name " to New York.
from cbssports.com:
The New York Knicks have generally opted for a conservative approach to roster-building in recent years, especially since missing out on Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in 2019 free agency. They have accumulated cap space and draft picks while developing young players in the hopes that eventually, they could parlay those things into the sort of superstar they've so frequently missed out on over the past half-decade.
Apparently, they believe the time to acquire one is now. The Knicks are ready to package their young talent and draft picks for a superstar, according to Stefon Bondy of The New York Daily News. "They're going to be in the mix when a star becomes available," a source told Bondy.
The Knicks have the ammunition to make a big trade. They own all of their own first-round picks as well as two from Dallas, an unprotected choice in 2021 and a top-10 protected pick in 2023. At present, they would have the No. 8 and No. 12 slots in the 2021 lottery. They also have four lottery picks still playing out their rookie deals in Frank Ntilikina, Kevin Knox, RJ Barrett and Obi Toppin.
