By scouring the trade market for additional guards, the New York Knicks are making it abundantly clear that they do not trust Jordan Clarkson.
Never mind his role. His spot on the team could be in jeopardy as a result.
Sure, targeting a reunion with Donte DiVincenzo and emerging as a suitor for Jose Alvarado speaks to a lack of trust in Tyler Kolek. But the Knicks have already clarified their stance on him many times over. Though Landry Shamet’s absence has paved the way for him to receive additional opportunities, he’s never once been considered a steady part of the rotation.
