While the stage is ripe for the Knicks to make another move before the NBA trade deadline, there’s no guarantee they’ll end up pursuing one. Considering how the team has looked since the Anunoby deal went down, there is a lot of optimism surrounding this team.
New York may not feel the need to push for another deal at the deadline and could ultimately wait until the offseason to put in all their chips. Especially considering there may not be another readily available star that would move the needle that much for the team right now.
If the front office believes that is indeed the case, it would make sense to simply wait until the buyout market to address their biggest weakness at the moment, which is the lack of a veteran backup point guard.
