The Knicks are clearly looking for a new star. Beyond the insistent rumors around Joel EmbiidNew York would have inquired about Zach LaVine. The franchise had discussions with the Bulls, without much success.
According to Fred Katz there The Athleticthe front office of Leon Rose contacted Chicago about LaVine. But the Illinois team’s asking price immediately discouraged the Knicks. The counterpart expected in exchange for the back was “giant”.
Zach LaVine, double All-Star, comes out of a season averaging 24.8 points. He could be, according to the latest rumors, the next top player to claim his transfer. The disappointing collective context of the Bulls lends itself to it in any case.
Zach LaVine, the next big name to claim a trade?
Karl-Anthony Towns at the Knicks: second cold track
Other rumors mentioned this season a potential traction between New York and Karl-Anthony Towns. In fact, the franchise has shown no particular interest in the kingpin, despite speculation. Wolves seem determined to keep KAT in Minnesota anyway and have therefore communicated an extremely high price to interested teams.
The prospect of seeing Joel Embiid in the Knicks jersey also seems very unlikely. The noises surrounding the reigning MVP died down as quickly as they appeared. The only two stars currently in the transfer line, Damian Lillard et James Hardenevolve in the same position as Jalen Brunson, which has clearly established itself as a cornerstone of the project. Realistically, we can therefore expect a calm summer on the Gotham side.
