What are the latest trade rumors from around the NBA and how might they impact the New York Knicks? We round them up and answer that question.


The New York Knicks have been pleasantly surprising fans throughout the 2017-18 NBA regular season. There has been some measure of inconsistency, but the Knicks are overachieving during the first quarter of the new campaign.

Although the front office’s decision to be patient with the young core is beginning to pay off, one can’t help but survey the landscape of the NBA and evaluate the opportunities that exist.

With New York playing at a postseason-caliber level, fans have inevitably questioned if there’s something more the front office could be doing. Valuing the long-term over the short-term was a wise decision, but it’s understandable for fans to feel the way they do.

Thus, with December 15 looming, it’s only rational to evaluate what the current trade market consists of and how it could benefit the Knicks.

In most cases, New York will look the other way and continue to build around the core it has in place. A select few players who have surfaced in trade rumors would have significant value to the Knicks, however, and that makes them worth discussing.

The question is: What are the latest trade rumors to emerge from around the NBA and how might they influence or impact the New York Knicks?
