It’s certainly an exciting and interesting prospect. The Knicks are currently 28th in the NBA in three-point percentage and need a better offense next season. Hield, meanwhile, has shot 41% from three in his young career.
It won’t be easy acquiring Hield. He’s currently with the Sacramento Kings, who acquired him in the DeMarcus Cousins trade in 2017. Moreover, Hield signed a four-year, $106 million extension with the team back in October.
But just like politics, a week in basketball is a lifetime and a lot has changed since Hield signed his new deal. The Knicks finally fired Steve Mills and hired former player agent Leon Rose as the new president of basketball operations.
