The New York Knicks shocked the system on the day of the 2018 NBA trade deadline. In one of the most unexpected moves of an overwhelmingly wild day, the Knicks traded Doug McDermott to the Dallas Mavericks in a three-team deal that brought Emmanuel Mudiay to New York.
While many come to the Knicks with the hope of setting the highlight reel ablaze, Mudiay seems to understand that effort is what fans are truly searching for.
It seems like an odd request, but fans have grown accustomed to seeing players on the post-90s Knicks have their effort questioned on a rather consistent basis.
