As the New York Knicks look to improve their roster for the upcoming NBA season, several players find themselves on the bubble. Here are three Knicks who might not return:
RJ Barrett: Despite being a key part of the Knicks’ core, Barrett has been mentioned in various trade rumors. His inconsistent shooting and occasional defensive lapses make him a potential trade asset if the Knicks decide to pursue a star player.
Mitchell Robinson: Robinson’s defensive prowess is unquestionable, but his injury history and limited offensive game could make him expendable. The Knicks might look to trade him for a more versatile big man or let him walk in free agency.
Immanuel Quickley: Quickley has shown flashes of brilliance as a scorer, but his role has been inconsistent. With the emergence of other guards on the team, the Knicks might consider packaging Quickley in a trade to address other needs.
