The NBA trade season is approaching, and the Knicks are poised to make moves by the February deadline, especially as some bench players underperform while others excel. Key targets include Keon Ellis for his defensive skills and three-point shooting, Saddiq Bey for veteran wing depth, Nicolas Batum for reliable experience, Jose Alvarado for his New York grit, and potential big men Andre Drummond or Precious Achiuwa to bolster the frontcourt amid concerns over Mitchell Robinson’s health.
