It’s not going to happen.
This time, the Knicks are not going to do something crazy. They aren’t going to wander away from their rebuilding plan. Just because Jimmy Butler wants out of Minnesota and says he is interested in the Knicks, they aren’t about to trade major assets like draft picks for a player they can get later in free agency.
At least, that’s what they are saying right now.
Of course, we’ve heard this all before….
And then, Carmelo Anthony wants out of Denver before the trade deadline. Or Phil Jackson falls in love with Joakim Noah after he shows up at his house in Montana.
