The New York Knicks would have to trade Kevin Knox in a potential deal for Chris Paul, sources told Marc Berman of the New York Post.

The Thunder are said to be looking for a first-round pick and a player still on their rookie contract in exchange for Paul.

The Thunder prefer Knox as the prospect on their rookie deal, according to sources. 

The Knicks, who have seven first-round picks over the next four drafts, would rather deal Dennis Smith Jr. or Frank Ntilikina - though the Thunder are not fans of Smith.

The Knicks reportedly prefer trading for Victor Oladipo over Paul.
