The New York Knicks need a point guard and two targets are Chris Paul and Fred VanVleet. Toronto would like to re-sign VanVleet, he is a player who would be ideal for the Knicks. RJ Barrett and Mitchell Robinson are a solid foundation for the Knicks, but New York needs an experienced guard. For the Knicks, getting an experienced guard would also help RJ Barrett reach maturity early.
With that in mind, VanVleet could be the right player, the kind of player who can greatly influence the Knicks. Fred VanVleet stood out for his skills as a leader on the field of the team. He has already won an NBA Knicks and bring the right experience and the charism in a young team and depressed for missed victories.
He’s the kind of player who fits perfectly into the Thibodeau-VanVleet system would bring at least some level of leadership to a team that desperately needs it.
