The trade route is an option that had been discussed among members of the Knicks' front office late in the season; one player some in the organization are fond of is Darren Collison, who backed up Rajon Rondo in Sacramento this year.
Do the Knicks have the pieces to deal for Collison, scheduled to make $5.2 million next season? That’s unclear.
It’s also worth noting that the Knicks showed interest in trading for Jeff Teague prior to the 2016 trade deadline; there was some internal chatter last month about trying to revisit that this summer.
