“Trade Season” unofficially arrived on Dec. 15, featuring a handful of reports and rumors around the New York Knicks. Some of their most prominent players were mentioned, teasing a potentially intriguing lead-up to the trade deadline in February.
Three players have stood out for the trade market, becoming the earliest candidates to leave midseason:
Marcus Morris
Having a productive year on a one-year, $15 million contract, Marcus Morris is thriving as one of New York’s go-to scorers and at the defensive end. It makes him an intriguing trade candidate, and a contender like the Los Angeles Clippers is a viable suitor, as ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Zach Lowe said on their “Trade Season” special.
