There is an argument to be made at the New York Knicks made a mistake not trading for a player at the deadline a few weeks ago. With reports swirling that the Knicks were interested in Pelicans’ point guard Lonzo Ball, there was a moment where the two teams could have connected on a deal, but the Knicks will likely wait until free agency to take another shot at the 6’6”, 190 pound PG.
It seemed as if New York had more desire to add draft capital than give it away, and they did just that by parting ways with Austin Rivers and Ignas Brazdeikis, adding two second-round selections.
