The New York Knicks' current roster construction was influenced heavily by connections. Josh Hart recently revealed one that could potentially hint at a future move. Hart said he attempted to join the Washington Wizards as a restricted free agent in the 2021 offseason because he wanted to play with Russell Westbrook, according to Stefan Bondy of The New York Post. Could the team consider a trade for Westbrook ahead of this year's trade deadline?
Between former super-agent Leon Rose running the show and the Villanova ties between Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, and Hart, Knick fans are familiar with this part of the business.
