Knicks Not Currently Interested In Blake Griffin, LaMarcus Aldridge, Carmelo Anthony 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Sep 14, 2022 7:45 pm

The New York Knicks have a pair of open roster spots, but are not interested in high profile veteran free agents Blake Griffin, LaMarcus Aldridge or Carmelo Anthony. The Knicks had kept the roster spots open as they discussed a trade for Donovan Mitchell, though a major deal involving Julius Randle or Evan Fournier remains possible. 


Anthony has been amenable to a return to the Knicks this offseason and the front office had internal discussions previously on signing him.


Other veteran big men who remain available include Tristan Thompson, Dwight Howard, Cody Zeller and Hassan Whiteside. 


Tom Thibodeau has a history of making his 15th man someone who doesn’t care about playing time.

A major deal involving Randle or Fournier :roll:

He kinda treats guys 8-15 the same way. "You'll play when the 7th man gets injured."

They should sign Melo and LMA. Just to keep them off the Lakers roster.

I'd like to see Melo in NY. If LMA still wants to play, I'm really surprised he's still available.

"Not Currently"

Give it time everyone, bad habits die hard.
