The New York Knicks tried to trade their biggest offseason signing in Guerschon Yabusele, along with second-year wing Pacôme Dadiet, for Jeremy Sochan. The San Antonio Spurs wouldn't do it because they didn't want Yabusele's player option for next season on their books, according to HoopsHype's Michael A. Scotto. It seems like if the Knicks want to trade Yabusele, which they're expected to do ahead of February 5's trade deadline, they'll need to include at least one second-round pick to entice suitors.
Spurs rebuff Knicks' offer to reunite Yabusele with Wembanyama
Scotto wrote in a recent column full of intel regarding players across the league ahead of the trade deadline that the Knicks made an offer to the Spurs for Sochan, in an attempt to move off of Yabusele by reuniting him with his French teammate in Wembanyama.
