Knicks Take Quiet Approach at NBA Trade Deadline, Eye Future Moves
The New York Knicks opted for a quiet approach at the NBA trade deadline, making only one minor move by sending Jericho Sims to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Delon Wright. CBS Sports analyst Sam Quinn graded the Knicks’ trade deadline performance a “C,” noting that inaction was likely the right decision given the team’s current roster. Quinn highlighted that the Knicks’ only movable assets, Mitchell Robinson and Precious Achiuwa, were either too valuable or too injury-prone to trade. Robinson, who is nearing a return from injury, is expected to provide a defensive boost, effectively serving as the team’s “deadline addition.”
Meanwhile, the Knicks are reportedly considering reuniting with veteran big man Taj Gibson through the buyout market. Gibson, a fan favorite who previously played for the Knicks, could provide depth and experience in the frontcourt, especially with Robinson’s injury history. However, the Knicks must wait until February 28 to sign any free agents to avoid exceeding the NBA’s second apron.
Looking ahead, the Knicks are expected to experiment with a double-big lineup featuring Robinson and Karl-Anthony Towns once Robinson is fully healthy. This strategy aims to maximize defensive versatility and rim protection, though it may come at the cost of pace and offensive fluidity. Head coach Tom Thibodeau expressed confidence in the team’s current roster, emphasizing the contributions of Achiuwa and Robinson when healthy.
The Knicks’ next challenge comes against the defending NBA champion Boston Celtics, with tipoff scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. As the season progresses, the team’s success will hinge on the performance of its core players rather than any deadline moves.
