The New York Knicks need to upgrade their roster, and maybe Jrue Holiday is the answer.
Ian Begley of SNY.tv reported that with potentially over $60 million in cap space, New York was willing to take on “an undesirable contract” in a trade. Holiday is not “undesirable” by any stretch, but he will make over $25 million next season before being able to opt-out of the deal next offseason. Earlier this week, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported the New Orleans Pelicans were “openly discussing” trading Holiday, and “several contending teams” were interested.
