James Harden is one big-name trade target that doesn’t make sense for the Knicks

There are still a few big names available in trade talks this summer, including 76ers shooting guard James Harden. Some publications have even floated the Knicks as a potential suitor for the disgruntled star. And it does make a bit of sense, I suppose. While he may not be on the level of Joel Embiid or Donovan Mitchell — stars the Knicks were reportedly chasing — Harden is still considered by many as a star, something New York’s front office has long coveted. And in getting Harden, the Knicks would be able to pair Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle with a true facilitator, making their jobs much easier offensively.
