The Knicks are heading toward a dead end with their attempts to trade up in the 2021 NBA Draft. President Leon Rose is sitting with three first round selections, but teams simply don’t want to move out of the lottery, no matter how many additional picks they’re gaining. The latest report indicates that the Knicks have contacted the Golden State Warriors to gauge their interest in a potential trade, which would give them the 14th overall pick.
Golden State rejected the offer; New York is going to have to put together a more enticing package that involves more than just the 19th and 21st selections.
