The NBA trade deadline is just around the corner. Therefore,
New York Knicks are in full evaluation and action mode to improve their roster. With the trade of OG Anunoby and the positive feelings he has left on the court, the Madison Square Garden offices continue to work hard to give the team an additional boost.
The name that has gained traction in the halls of the Madison Square Garden is
Jordan Clarkson, currently playing for the Utah Jazz. Marc Stein, well-known sports journalist, reports that the Knicks are seriously considering Clarkson as a potential spark off the bench.
The experienced guard's scoring ability could satisfy the need for points the team is now looking for, especially after the departure of Anunoby.
Clarkson, known for his versatility to generate offense, would be a perfect fit in Tom Thibodeau's system. His knowledge in crucial moments of the game could provide an invaluable upgrade to the Knicks in their quest to establish themselves in the Eastern Conference.
However, Clarkson is not the only option that has caught the eye of Knicks management. They are rumored to have set their sights on Malcolm Brogdon of the Portland Trail Blazers. A solid all-around point guard who could contribute both defensively and as a playmaker. The possibility of Brogdon raises expectations for a team looking to strengthen in all areas.
Terry Rozier of the Charlotte Hornets is also on the Knicks' list. With his capability to get buckets, Rozier would be a valuable addition to the Knicks' game scheme. His presence could provide that extra spark the team needs to compete at the highest level.
Another name that has been bandied about is that of former Knick Alec Burks, currently with the Detroit Pistons. Burks brings experience and sharp shooting, would be an interesting addition to the Knicks roster.
With the clock ticking down before the trade deadline on February 8th, Knicks fans are waiting to see how these negotiations will play out and how these potential additions will change the team's dynamic for the remainder of the season.
