The trade deadline is today, but you’d be excused if you think that the Knicks’ trade fireworks show has already had its grand finale. At this point, we’re just using up the sparklers and bottle rockets. But maybe there’s a Roman candle hidden down there at the bottom of the box.
There’s still some work that could be done by the Knickerbockers to try to secure some future assets today. Enes Kanter very publicly wants out (and may just get bought out), Noah Vonleh is a valuable piece that the Knicks will have a hard time retaining, and they have two vets on expiring contracts in Wesley Matthews and DeAndre Jordan that could potentially be shipped out to maximize the return on Kristaps Porzingis.
