Knicks unlikely to trade Michael Beasley
New York had been rumored to be fielding offers for Michael Beasley leading up to the trade deadline, but Stefon Bondy of the New York Daily News reports that Beasley isn't expected to go anywhere.
"There hasn't been much interest in Beasley and, even if there was, the Knicks think very highly of a player that has exceeded expectations. Player development VP Craig Robinson is especially big on Beasley and the Knicks may even dip into their mid level to re-sign him over the summer."
Beasley is averaging 12.5 points and 5.1 rebounds per game this season.
Jarrett Jack, Kyle O'Quinn likely to be moved
While Beasley is expected to stay, a couple of other players aren't. Fred Kerber of the New York Post talked to an anonymous scout that expects Jarrett Jack or Kyle O'Quinn - or both - to be dealt.
“There are two guys on their team that are available that people would want: Jack and [Kyle] O’Quinn,” one veteran scout said. “If they deal O’Quinn, that gives [Willy] Hernangomez an opportunity. If they deal Jack, you’ve still got Frank and Trey, two young guys, to play the point.”
For Jack, one said “maybe a second-rounder,” while another doubted he could be traded. A third said a team looking for veteran point guard depth, like Washington, or Cleveland eyeing a cheaper alternative to George Hill, might give a second-rounder.
For O’Quinn, who has a $4.25 million player option next year, most saw the return from a team needing size (like Milwaukee) as a second-round pick, although one executive suggested “you might get a decent rotation player” for him.
O'Quinn has received interest from the Golden State Warriors, but it's unclear if talks between the two sides are still ongoing.
Jack is averaging 7.8 points and 6.1 assists per game, while O'Quinn is averaging 6.6 points and 5.7 rebounds per game.
