As the Knicks plot out their future during this downtrending season, a particular mold of player remains a priority for the front office, according to sources: an athletic wing.
One of that ilk who has piqued New York’s interest is Lakers forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who will be an unrestricted free agent in the summer. […]
Unfortunately for the Knicks, the demand for those type of wings is widespread throughout the league as the Feb. 8 trade deadline approaches, according to ESPN. So upgrading is more feasible during the summer, when Caldwell-Pope and other wings hit the open market.
