The New York Knicks have one of the NBA's best point guards in Jalen Brunson. Deuce McBride, his back-up, has emerged as a starting-caliber guard with Mike Brown sharing that it was hard to start Josh Hart over him. New York's reserve guards provide value but not playoff-level defense or enough offense to compensate. The New Orleans Pelicans have a point guard in Jose Alvarado who reporter Ian Begley said New York would be interested in if made available. He could help complete the Knicks' roster by ensuring they can have a reliable point guard on the floor for 48 minutes per game.
