The New York Knicks have one less competent center they can make a play for before the Feb. 6 trade deadline.
On Wednesday, the Washington Wizards traded center Jonas Valanciunas to the Sacramento Kings. NBC Sports Bay Area’s Ali Thanawalla relayed the breaking news as follows:
“Sacramento is acquiring veteran center Jonas Valanciunas from the Washington Wizards for forward Sidy Cissoko and two future second-round draft picks, NBA Insider Marc Stein and ESPN’s Shams Charania first reported, citing sources,” Thanawalla published.
The Lithuanian big man could have brought polished interior scoring, elite rebounding, and a floor-spacing threat to the Knicks’ bench.
