Anthony Davis confirmed rumors that the New York Knicks made the final cut of his trade list during an appearance on WFAN's Boomer and Gio show.

"Every team was on my list at the time, and then I kind of cut it down, and they were one of the ones that made the final cut. I talked to some guys over there who were still there, and I feel like playing for an organization like that, especially New York, it'd be something that I was always interested in. You see (Carmelo Anthony) was there and the history that the Knicks have and a historical franchise it is, I thought it was something I could definitely be a part of," said Davis.

Ian Begley of SNY reported that Davis would have considered signing a long-term deal with the Knicks, though the team did not want to trade the necessary assets to acquire Davis.

ESPN's Brian Windhorst added that Knicks brass felt like trading for Davis would have undercut their long-term plan. 

Davis is averaging 27.4 points and 9.3 rebounds on the season.
