NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Knicks are considered a long shot to trade for disgruntled Suns point guard Eric Bledsoe as long as their young up-and-comers remain untouchable, according to a report.
The Suns are reportedly shopping the 27-year-old after he was sent home Monday. The move came after he sent a tweet Sunday saying, “Don’t wanna be here,” around the same time word was leaking that Phoenix had fired coach Earl Watson.
Basketball Insiders reported the Suns are looking for young players in exchange for Bledsoe and have asked the Knicks about rookie point guard Frank Ntilikina and 23-year-old center Willy Hernangomez.
