The Knicks are again pushing to make a trade for Ricky Rubio, according to a league source who spoke with the Star Tribune.

Minnesota would like to acquire restricted free agents David Lee, Nate Robinson and a future No. 1 pick in the deal, while receiving cap relief for Mark Blount and Brian Cardinal.

Three separate sources who spoke with Newsday have shot down the Star Tribune's report, at least as far as the possibility of Lee being included in such a trade.
