According to Ian Begley of SNY, the New York Knicks were reluctant to trade away Kevin Knox, unless it was for a young star.
“But teams generally had the feeling that Knox was not going to be moved unless it was for a young star, sources say,” wrote Begley. “So that gives you some indication of how the club values Knox.
“Many in the organization viewed him as part of the young core, which included Mitchell Robinson and RJ Barrett, to build around moving forward, per sources.”
Knox, 20, is still one of the youngest players in the NBA.
