CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Yes, Anthony Davis confirmed the Knicks are on his list of preferred destinations with the Lakers, Clippers and Bucks, but he also denied Saturday during the All-Star Weekend festivities any notion the Celtics are not on that list, too.
That is not the best news for the Knicks in the trade sweepstakes that will likely resume after the lottery decides teams’ draft positions.
The Knicks figured to have an in because of Davis’ reported preference to play in New York long-term in addition to the Lakers. Davis called the Knicks “a great franchise’’ Saturday and said playing in the Garden was special.
