According to Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports, the New York Knicks “have no plans” to trade Marcus Morris Sr. despite the fact that the forward is “a hot name around league circles.”
Morris, 30, is having the best year of his career and would likely net a late first-round pick in a trade, but the Knicks appear to be prioritizing winning now over acquiring draft capital.
Morris is averaging 19.1 points on 46.9% three-point shooting, both career highs. The veteran forward has been the most consistent player on the Knicks and his leadership in the locker room is undeniable.
