According to NBA insider Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the New York Knicks could trade for Terry Rozier, Malcolm Brogdon or Alec Burks.
The Knicks are targeting an extra ball-handler at the NBA trade deadline.
“The Knicks are doing their due diligence and looking at various players across the league, including Hornets guard Terry Rozier, Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon, former Tom Thibodeau favorite Alec Burks, sources said,” Scotto wrote in his latest NBA trade column.
