As SNY’s Ian Begley reports, the Knicks held internal discussions about trading for Sixers forward Tobias Harris and Raptors forward O.G. Anunoby before their recent eight-game winning streak. Houston’s Eric Gordon is another name the Knicks have expressed an interest in, according to multiple reports.
Although it has the assets for a major roster shakeup, New York (18-16) likely won’t make a major roster shakeup. Here’s a breakdown of potential targets as the Feb. 9 trade deadline approaches.
Small forward Kelly Oubre Jr., Charlotte Hornets
Averaging 20.6 points, Oubre is wasting away on a Hornets team that is only contending for the first pick in the draft. The eighth-year forward won’t cost a premium, as he’ll hit free agency this summer.
Only 27, Oubre could provide New York’s bench with a much-needed offensive spark. With eyes on an impact wing player, presumably, to replace Cam Reddish in the rotation, Oubre might be a perfect match.
