DENVER — Sunday marks the first day on which free agents who signed in July are eligible to be traded. The date has been well-anticipated because of the historic number of free agents this past summer.
With seven free-agent signees, the Knicks figured to hold Dec. 15 as a landmark date, but things have changed for them in the past nine days.
One team executive thinks the Knicks, and other teams, will wait longer to see what they have — at least until the trade deadline of Feb. 7 gets closer.
“That trade deadline is still there for a reason,’’ the executive said.
