When it comes to the NBA (and maybe soon enough the NFL), it’s never too early for trade-talk. And after a summer like the one the New York Knicks experienced, it’s not farfetched to expect multiple moves later in the year.
Instead of signing a star-studded duo like Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving or Kemba Walker and Kawhi Leonard, the Knicks settled for a band of (albeit talented) journeyman.
Once the nature of the deals was released: typically around two to three years with team options and incentives built-in like clauses in a prenup, the NBA was put on notice.
