New York Knicks: Why trading up for LaMelo Ball makes sense

Error 0:

The New York Knicks will enter the 2020 NBA draft with picks to play with, and possibly use in a trade. NBA insider Chad Ford recently said on The Locked On Warriors Podcast that he could see the Knicks making a move to trade up in the draft if they fall in love with a top prospect, specifically LaMelo Ball. Ford said:

“I think there’s one team that I see out there that might be desperate to get up and really make some buzz, and that’s the Knicks… If the Knicks don’t get the number one pick in this draft, just given the trajectory of that franchise over the years, I could see them, they have some assets, they’ll still probably have a fairly high lottery pick, packaging all of that together to try to get up to make a big splash.
