For parts of the past few days, it seemed like a forgone conclusion, or at least a very possible outcome, that Obi Toppin would be wearing another jersey. There were numerous reports that teams like the Pacers and the Jazz had expressed interest in the Knicks’ athletic big man and with the team seemingly interested in acquiring pieces to win now, there just didn’t seem like an avenue to get Toppin the larger role so many want to see him in. So it comes as a bit of surprise to not only see Toppin still a Knick past the trade deadline, but to hear that the asking price for him was “significant,” especially since he’s eligible for an extension this summer.
