The New York Knicks seemingly fail to find a quality point guard every year, and while Elfrid Payton was decent in 2019, he is by no means the future at the position.
Reports have indicated that the Knicks were interested in a Chris Paul trade, but he was sent to the Phoenix Suns in a massive deal, and it seems as if they aren’t interested in Russell Westbrook. For the sake of argument, the Knicks should stay as far away as possible from Westbrook, as his contract reaches $47 million in the final year. In addition, he is a win-now move, and the Knicks are still trying to develop their youth in RJ Barrett, a new draft picks Obi Toppin Immanuel Quickley.
