New York Knicks fans were impressed when Thursday’s deadline passed, and guard Frank Ntilikina was still on the team. But Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports the team was indeed shopping him, for a first-round pick:
Point guards the Knicks have started above Frank Ntilikina: Ramon Sessions, Jarrett Jack, Trey Burke, Emmanuel Mudiay, Dennis Smith Jr.
Source said they shopped him but were holding firm at a first-round pick in return.
How about giving him a real chance?
