The New York Knicks already lost the first game of their current four-game West Coast trip. Adding insult to injury, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reported that Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard had no interest in becoming a Knick during free agency.
“I never said I was considering going to the Knicks,” said Leonard, whose Clippers host the Knicks on Sunday afternoon. “Everybody knows where I wanted to go when I requested a trade so I don’t where that came from.”
Fans will remember that president of basketball operations Steve Mills made the claim that the Knicks were happy with the way they built the team during the summer and that they had multiple “max-type players” that were interested in the orange and blue.
