With the Feb. 6 trade deadline approaching, expect the New York Knicks to look like a much different team in the coming months. According to SNY’s Ian Begley, there are some players who are hoping to be traded.
“We already know several teams – including the Minnesota Timberwolves – have expressed interest in guard Dennis Smith Jr.,” Begley wrote. “It’s also worth noting that a few Knicks have said privately in recent weeks that they prefer to be traded ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline, per SNY sources.
“It’s unclear if any of those players have made a formal trade request to management, but the idea that Knicks players want to be somewhere else is indicative of how things have gone for New York this season.
