According to Bleacher Report, the Knicks may need a point guard and Lonzo Ball could be the right man, 2017’s # 2 pick who averaged 6.5 assists versus 2.7 turnovers in his first three. seasons. Making a deal now would give the Knicks control of Ball’s limited freedom of action.
Without it, they could be faced with a scenario where they would have to over-inflate their contract offer in hopes of scaring the Pelicans.
