The New York Knicks aren’t ones to stand pat all too often. They have big-time aspirations and are in a big-time market, giving them the confidence to take big swings. Last summer that meant signing Jalen Brunson to a hefty contract in free agency, and one All-Star caliber season later that looks like a coup.
The Knicks are in a unique position, with a team that is good now, stocked with young talent that would be attractive to other teams in trade, and with extra draft picks down the road to include in deals. That makes them players in trade discussions for virtually any player that comes available on the market.
