The New York Knicks have taken a different shape this season under head coach Tom Thibodeau, playing incredible defense and showing a bit more offensive efficiency than in previous seasons. Players like Julius Randle are having career years under this new system, as the veteran power forward is averaging 23.2 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 5.5 assists, all career highs.
Acquiring a star player to pair with Randle might be in the Knicks’ best interest, and with the March 25 trade deadline coming up, we could see a move in the near future. However, Thibodeau was keen on moving some of the younger pieces for established veterans, per a report from the New York Post.
