If the New York Knicks are looking for a potential star to trade for, then a door may have just been opened.
According to Joe Cowley of The Chicago Sun-Times, Lauri Markkanen is upset with the current trajectory of the Chicago Bulls. More significantly for the rest of the NBA: Markkanen would rather play elsewhere if changes are not made.
Per Cowley:
Make no mistake about it, third-year big man Lauri Markkanen was one unhappy camper before the coronavirus put the NBA on hiatus. Unhappy enough that if the direction of the organization was going to stay unchanged, he’d rather be elsewhere.
