New York Knicks should avoid Stanley Johnson due to troubling trend

Nothing gets the fanbase of the New York Knicks—a team who has lost nine of 12 games—excited like a trade rumor involving a recent top-10 overall pick.

On Thursday night, ESPN’s Ian Begley reported that the Detroit Pistons have been looking around the league for wing help and the name they’re peddling is Pistons small forward, Stanley Johnson. The former Arizona Wildcat was picked eighth overall in 2015 shortly after the Knicks selected Kristaps Porzingis.
