Deal Confirmed : 7 Under The Radar Trade Ideas For The New York Knicks

 

The New York Knicks have been anything but quiet this year. The front office went all-in by acquiring Karl-Anthony Towns, locking up OG Anunoby to a long-term deal, and trading for Mikal Bridges. Those moves signal that the team is serious about contending now. But here’s the catch: those big splashes have left them with little flexibility to chase another blockbuster deal this season.

Even with a revamped roster, the Knicks (15-9) still have a few loose ends to tie up. While Towns gives them a scoring big man, their interior defense remains shaky. Anunoby and Bridges provide elite wing defense, but the bench scoring has taken a hit. And let’s not ignore the elephant in the room—competing with the Celtics and Cavs in the East means there’s no room for complacency.

 

 

So, what’s next? The Knicks need to get creative. With their current cap situation, under-the-radar trades are the way to go. These smaller deals might not make headlines, but they could address key weaknesses and elevate New York to true contender status. Let’s break down seven trade ideas that could quietly make a big difference.

 

The Knicks are sitting at 14-9 and holding down fourth place in the East, but let’s be real—they’ve got some issues to sort out if they want to hang with teams like the Celtics and Cavs. Sure, they made big moves by landing Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, and Mikal Bridges, but injuries are hitting their big man rotation hard. Mitchell Robinson is out with an ankle injury, and Towns has been dealing with a nagging knee problem. It’s left them scrambling for help in the paint.
