While the New York Knicks are preparing to take on the Atlanta Hawks in the first series of their postseason quest, free agency rumors are still bubbling to the surface. At the trade deadline, the Knicks were connected to a variety of players, ranging from Victor Oladipo to Lonzo Ball. However, their interest in Ball remains a constant, as they desperately need more assistance at point guard, and acquiring Ball while also retaining veteran Derrick Rose could be a solution to their problems.
Having a quality mentor like Rose for Lonzo would not only help him develop quicker but also allow the Knicks to retain one of their most important players this season.
