The New York Knicks have their hands full with a daunting schedule ahead and tired legs carrying them past the NBA trade deadline and into the All-Star break. After making several of their players available in trades, should the Denver Nuggets make a move for one of the players?
The Knicks are apparently open to trading Kemba Walker, Evan Fournier, and Alec Burks according to Brian Windhorst, ESPN.
RJ Barrett went crazy against the LA Lakers on Saturday, throwing down authoritative jams and hitting an ice-cold dagger to send things into overtime in LA, but was needed on the court for a whopping 50 minutes to put up his 36-8-5 line to keep the Knicks alive. 1
New York, who will go on the road to play the Utah Jazz and Nuggets, are currently five games under .500 and sitting at 12th in the Eastern Conference.
At 24-29, the Knicks look like a team ready to make a move at the trade deadline to keep their own playoff hopes alive in the East. Maybe there could be a player or two the Nuggets would be interested in trading for, and the following pieces might be what Denver needs to complete their championship puzzle.
