The New York Knicks are hunting this offseason. They have gathered their gear, packed a lunch, loaded their gun, and are out in the woods settled into their deer stand. Their desire to make a trade is not just conjecture; if a trade target sufficiently raises its head, they will pull the trigger.
Who will that trade target be, though? Last summer it wasn’t Donovan Mitchell, as the Knicks got close but ultimately eased off the trigger. They reportedly talked about Zach LaVine at the NBA Trade Deadline. Damian Lillard, Brandon Ingram, Joel Embiid, Kristaps Porzingis, Trae Young — the names continue to swirl.
