The New York Knicks have been thrown a curveball that even Tom Seaver couldn’t think of mustering. With less than 48 hours until the NBA trade deadline, the Knicks lost franchise player Kristaps Porzingis to a torn ACL.
As the Knicks look more and more like sellers on the day of the 2018 NBA trade deadline, trade possibilities are expanding beyond the usual suspects.
New York was debating between buying and selling, but the loss of Porzingis has definitively changed the perspective. The organization is focused on building for the future, which could entail trading its veterans for long-term assets.
