The Kings are reportedly involved in trade talks regarding a deal that would send Zach Randolph to the New York Knicks in exchange for Enes Kanter.
A league source told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski talks were underway, but the two sides were not close to a deal. Sources told The Bee nothing was imminent as of Wednesday afternoon.
Kanter, 26, has an $18.6 million contract that expires at the end of the season. He has grown frustrated with his role in New York as the struggling Knicks have emphasized the development of their young players.
Kanter, a 6-foot-11, 250-pound Turkish center who was selected by the Utah Jazz with the third overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft, went to New York in the trade that sent Carmelo Anthony to the Oklahoma City Thunder in September 2017.
