The vultures have started to circle the New York Knicks, but fans should not fall victim to recent reports related to this season’s sub-par play from Frank Ntilikina and Kevin Knox, which are written to elicit despair despite the fact that we are supposed to be trusting the process.
Rumor has it, according to Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic, that teams including the Orlando Magic have shown interest in trading for the Ntilikina, who has struggled to find his place without superstar buddy Kristaps Porzingis on the court. According to Vorkunov, there is “NBA-wide interest” in Ntilikina, and a Magic scout was in Philadelphia just the other night to watch the 20-year-old Frenchman perform; that scout probably left the arena frustrated, as he only got to watch Ntilikina play just over 14 minutes of fairly ugly basketball (0 points, 0-5 from the field, 2 assists, and nothing else).
