Gary Trent Jr. has shown that he is a solid sixth man on the Toronto Raptors. He is a player that provides solid perimeter defense and 3PT shooting. Currently, Gary Trent Jr. is averaging 18.5 PPG, 2.3 RPG, and 1.6 SPG while shooting 36.7% from the 3PT range.

A recent report indicated that Gary Trent Jr. has been made available for trades by the Toronto Raptors. It seems as though there are already interested suitors. A recent report from Brett Siegel of FanNation revealed that the New York Knicks and the Phoenix Suns are teams that have had “internal interest” in acquiring the Toronto Raptors sharpshooter.

Both the New York Knicks and Phoenix Suns are two teams that have a level of internal interest in Trent ahead of the deadline, sources close to both organizations tell Fastbreak on FanNation. However, the asking price Toronto for Trent has not been revealed and rival executives believe that the Raptors will be aiming to add immediate draft capital given their recent struggles this season.

It is easy to see why the New York Knicks and the Phoenix Suns are interested in acquiring Gary Trent Jr. ahead of the trade deadline. He would give both teams another offensive weapon, and it is clear that they both need to make some sort of win-now move as they are in a play-in tournament position. 


The New York Knicks Could Also Be Interested In Zach LaVine

Though Gary Trent Jr. could be a good trade target for the New York Knicks, there is a chance that they could opt for a splashier trade. A previous report suggested that they are a team that could be in the mix for Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine if he is available ahead of the trade deadline.

If the Chicago Bulls make Zach LaVine available before the trade deadline, rival executives are keeping an eye on several teams who could have interest in trading for him, including the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, and Miami Heat.

There is no doubt that Zach LaVine could be a good acquisition for the New York Knicks, as he would give the team a go-to scorer that can take over in late-game situations.

It remains to be seen what the New York Knicks will do ahead of the trade deadline. They are definitely a team to look out for, and it would be no surprise to see them make a win-now move.
