New York Knicks

The need for a big move is very apparent for the New York Knicks and every other team in the league knows that they are starting to get desperate. 

The only move the Knicks have made so far this season is acquiring Cam Reddish and playing in a total of five games so far since being on the move from the Hawks, Reddish has only played a total of 49 minutes in a Knicks’ uniform. 

Julius Randle and RJ Barrett have no reliable supporting cast in New York right now and this organization has a huge need for another All-Star talent. Unfortunately, it is hard to envision them getting said player before the offseason. 

Now, all the attention in New York has turned to new avenues and one of them could very well lead to adding a secondary scorer like Harrison Barnes.

CJ McCollum was being targeted by the Knicks, but he is now in New Orleans. With the Kings trading for Domantas Sabonis, it is hard to imagine that the Knicks have any shot at landing De’Aaron Fox in a trade now, but according to Marc Berman from the New York Post, the Knicks have inquired about Kings’ forward Harrison Barnes. 

The Knicks currently rank 15th in the league in three-point shooting and given all of their inconsistencies on the offensive-end of the floor this season, it would make a lot of sense for them to add someone like Harrison Barnes on the wing. 

Not only can he take pressure off of RJ Barrett to be one of the only perimeter scorers on this team this season, but Barnes would also open up the floor for Julius Randle to play more in isolation, where he tends to thrive against smaller, weaker defenders.
