The Knicks have seemingly been linked to virtually every high-profile name in free agency and on the trade market during the past two or three seasons. So when trade rumors intensified around the Bulls, specifically the duo of Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan, New York appeared ready to pull off the deal it’s been targeting.
But then came a next sharp left turn, throwing a wrench in the entire process (at least for the time being). As of earlier this week, the Knicks haven’t had any trade talks with Chicago involving LaVine, DeRozan or any other player, per Ian Begley of SNY.com.
After years of being linked to virtually any name imaginable, two players that could be realistic options appear to be on the open market and the Knicks are opting against reaching out.
