The Knicks are coming off a weekend in which they opened a roster spot by waiving veteran big man and living legend Taj Gibson—who could be back in an assistant coach position soon.
The transaction allowed the Knicks to free a spot in their 15-man squad ahead of the Feb. 8 trade deadline, opening the door for two-for-one and three-for-two trades during the next few weeks, thus gaining a bit of flexibility in negotiations with other franchises, as we discussed on Monday.
Coincidentally (or not), ESPN’s Brian Windhors and fellow pundit Tim MacMahon shared the stage in the latest episode of the Hoop Collective podcast on Monday and they touched on a few topics, including potential Knicks targets ahead of the deadline.
