Much is being made of what the New York Knicks should do ahead of the NBA trade deadline. One of their biggest needs, though, continues to float deep beneath the radar: They have to cut salary.
This isn’t going to register high up on most to-do lists. Some think the Knicks need to focus on landing a backup floor general, although Tyler Kolek is not-so-quietly throwing that logic into question. Others want to see them go after another rim protector, given Mitchell Robinson’s scattershot availability. And then there’s the confab of people pushing for them to pursue a bigger wing, in order to increase the lack of game-ready depth behind OG Anunoby, and Mikal Bridges.
