The February 5 NBA trade deadline will be here before we know it. But don’t be surprised if and when the New York Knicks wait until the last possible minute to swing a deal.
Sure, the rumors are already flowing. The Knicks keep getting linked to secondary ball-handlers. The threat of Mitchell Robinson missing time, along with Guerschon Yabusele’s immense struggles, apparently has them monitoring the backup-big market. Landry Shamet’s injury reportedly has them sniffing around a reunion with a certain auburn-haired sharpshooter. And the time OG Anunoby missed earlier this season proved just how much the rotation could use another bigger wing.
