Knicks, in free agency there is interest in Lauri Markkanen

Rumors about the New York Knicks are already buzzing about potential NBA commercial deadline targets. While much focus remains on a successful deal, the Knicks may already have their eyes on a top free agent next offseason.

Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times recently hinted that Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen may be one of New York’s main targets. While it will be a limited free agent, allowing Chicago to match any offer it receives, New York is among the teams that could put a big deal on the table.

If the interest in Markkanen is genuine, he may signal further plans to trade Randle before the deadline or early in the off-season. Now would be a great time to sell the 26-year-old striker high, so expect there are even more Knicks rumors about the All-Star nominee.
