New York Knicks
The New York Knicks have been linked to Malik Beasley in trade rumors but there has been nothing concrete locked down. While the Knicks might like the core they have put together, there is still some scoring prowess that could be added. This will become important down the stretch of the season.
New York is not penciled into the postseason after a few good weeks. This is a team that is used to falling apart and struggled last season in the playoffs. With that being said, the New York Knicks are pointed in the right direction.
Tom Thibodeau is the head coach that can keep them competitive and the front office was aggressive in the offseason. Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier joined Julius Randle and RJ Barrett to give the Knicks some firepower.
Beasley would only add to it if he is able to stay on the floor. This is the concern and why the Knicks cannot overpay in a deal if one was made.

The Knicks have plenty of assets to move and this is something that we are not used to saying. In a deal such as this one, the New York Knicks would have some leverage and would not have to send much away for Beasley. That would be a win-win situation for New York.
