On the day of the trade deadline this year, the New York Knicks pulled the trigger on a rumor that was up in the air for a couple of months prior. Sending Marcus Morris to the LA Clippers in exchange for a few draft picks and small forward Maurice Harkless, the Knicks illustrated once again that their rebuilding process is still far from over.
Leaning towards a similar rebuild to that of the Atlanta Hawks, the Knicks are keen on constructing a durable foundation of young, cornerstone players accompanied by a deep and versatile supporting cast.
