The New York Knicks are in a very interesting position this season. Acquiring Jalen Brunson and allowing him to bloom has allowed the team to become a playoff team once again. However, they’re still a piece or 2 away from really contending at the top of the Eastern Conference. Having considered that, there are some players they have been linked with ahead of the trade deadline.
The New York Knicks could use a true star to lead this team, and they seem to agree considering their pursuit of Donovan Mitchell in the offseason. However, they also like the roster they have now and don’t want to alter it too much, as evidenced by the fact that they were also reportedly interested in getting Tobias Harris. As such, it’s no surprise that the latest report has linked them to one of the NBA’s premier role players.
“The defensive-minded guard would be a plug-and-play reserve — and closer — for virtually any contender or team serious about making a playoff push. Golden State has been one prominently mentioned rumor. The Knicks, who have been scouting the Bulls closely of late, are another team on which to keep an eye.”
Alex Caruso is a really good shooter, and where he distinguishes himself is on the defensive end. Caruso is a player that has championship pedigree and as such, even with the Knicks a team to keep an eye on, they are far from the only franchise credited with an interest.
3 Prominent NBA Franchises Were Mentioned In Talks About Alex Caruso
There’s not a single contending team in the league that wouldn’t want Alex Caruso on their roster. The Golden State Warriors were mentioned in the latest report as well, but as per Sean Deveney, the Miami Heat and the Phoenix Suns are also teams that could make a move for Caruso.
“If they can get some draft capital back for Caruso, and maybe a player, that would suit them. Teams like Phoenix or Miami, both would be in a position to make a trade like that. Even the Warriors, they could send out a young guy.”
Despite not being a star or a superstar, Alex Caruso is a fan favorite within the NBA, and his future is one that many are keeping an eye on. A winning player, his talents could be used by a lot of teams. If the Knicks can add him for cheap, it would make their already solid roster even better.
