Knicks Reportedly Hesitant To Trade Kevin Knox At Deadline

Feb 29, 2020 2:33 PM

The New York Knicks were reluctant to deal Kevin Knox at the trade deadline, league sources told Ian Begley of SNY.

The Knicks, under previous president Steve Mills, had put together a deal they felt the Warriors would have liked for D'Angelo Russell. It is unclear whether the package included Knox.

Many in the Knicks organization view Knox as part of their young core moving forward, alongside Mitchell Robinson and RJ Barrett.

The 20-year-old is averaging 6.5 points and 2.8 rebounds this season.

Leon Rose, Knicks Expected To Have Interest In Signing Carmelo Anthony This Offseason

Feb 29, 2020 1:44 PM

Leon Rose is expected to have interest in signing Carmelo Anthony to the New York Knicks this offseason, league executives told Marc Berman of the New York Post.

Rose could officially be unveiled as the Knicks president as soon as Monday,

Rose has been Anthony's agent since 2009, and helped orchestrate the deal to get Anthony from the Nuggets to the Knicks. 

“It’s hard to say because I don’t know what that situation is going to be. The easiest thing to say is, ‘His agent is there, he’s coming back.’ Until I sit down and see the whole plan, I don’t know. Me and him, we talk multiple times a week. That’s not something we even discuss. I still think it’s still a shock for everybody. When the offseason comes … I got to be careful now because it’s tampering," Anthony told Newsday last week.

Feb 18, 2020 1:30 AM

The New York Knicks reportedly told team scouts that their top priority is drafting a scoring point guard with their top lottery pick, league sources told Marc Berman of the New York Post.

The Knicks currently have the fifth-worst record in the league,

The team's second priority is drafting a shooting guard with 3-point range. The Knicks also have the Clippers first-round pick in the upcoming draft from their Marcus Morris trade.

LaMelo Ball is among the top draft prospects that fit the Knicks paradigm of a scoring point guard, though the team was never able to scout him in person.

Ball signed with Creative Artist Agency, where new team president Leon Rose was expected to be his agent.
