New York Knicks Trade Rumors: Which Are The Best Positions?
What do you think about New York Knicks trade rumors?
2021 offseason has already been started for the teams who are not playing NBA finals. Of all those teams New York Knicks has always been a top priority for many superstars. From point guards to free agents, many names have been connected with the Knicks recently. Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers is also one of them.
Have you ever wondered which of the New York Knicks trade rumors are true? I think each one of us wants to know about the Knicks summer roster. Everyone wants to know if Damian Lillard and Collin Sexton will be a part of the team in the upcoming season. Apart from adding new players, the Knicks will also offload the roster to build a title contender team. Also, the Knicks can add some young talents ad they own the numbers 19, 21 and 32. Let’s look at some of the trade rumors which can be true.
If the New York Knicks is looking for a center whom they can groom, then their best option is Isaiah Jackson. He is one of the finest young talents. The athlete averaged 2.8 blocks in 20.8 minutes per game last season. He is also a solid rebounder who can do things for his team. The only drawback of signing him is that he cannot play the offensive game.
Collin Sexton of the Cleveland Cavaliers has been heavily connected in the New York Knicks trade rumors. He is an offensive point guard which can be an easy go for the Knicks. If they can manage to trade him from the Cavaliers then the Knicks can easily spend more in the free agency. With an average of 24.3 points per game in the last season, he can be a great fit for the Knicks. It looks like the Knicks will pick him and their right coaching will turn him into a contract level player.
Damian Lillard
The biggest name of all the New York Knicks trade rumors is Damian Lillard. Recently, news popped up from ESPN that Lillard is eyeing the Knicks for the next NBA season. Lillard is a bonafide player averaging 28.8 points in the past season. The four-time All-Star of the Portland Trail Blazers will surely benefit the Knicks in the long run. However, the price tag to acquire him might not be an easy go for the Knicks.
The New Orleans point guard Lonzo Ball has been in the rumors for the past few weeks. The New York Knicks wanted to trade him in the last season but somehow it didn’t materialize. However, Ball being an unrestricted free agent makes it easy for the Knicks to pursue him. With a shooting percentage of 41 percent from the field and 38 percent over 8.3 attempts per game in the three-pointers, he will surely fit in the team of New York.
According to Bleacher Report, Dennis Schroder turned down a four years contract extension of $84 million earlier this year. He wants more money than that. However, the Los Angeles Lakers will not be able to give him more than that even in this offseason. Only two possible teams that can offer him a contract are Chicago Bulls and the New York Knicks. I put his name at the last as I don’t think the Knicks will have him by offering a large-cap.
There has been a huge hype about the Knicks trade with big names like Lillard and Schroder. However, these are the five names who can probably land in the team of New York Knicks.
