As tomorrow’s trade deadline approaches, lots of speculation remains about whether the New York Knicks will make a big swing, look for a utility player, or do nothing at all.
For The Athletic, Tony Jones writes ($) that Jordan Clarkson is likely to stay put in Utah. Although the Knicks need scoring off the bench and are reportedly interested in Clarkson’s skills–he’s averaging 17 points per game this season, but shooting 28% from downtown–they may find his salary to be prohibitive.
Clarkson is in the first year of a three-year, $51 million deal and is making $23 million this season.
