New York doesn’t have to do anything between now and the trade deadline to reach its goals. The Knicks have been fine with the roster as is. With that said, the sense around the league is that the Knicks will do something minor in order to bolster their bench, whether sooner by getting a player back in a trade or later in the buyout market.

Thus, per New York Basketball, SNY’s Ian Begley recently predicted that the Knicks will move Sims to the Houston Rockets with seven days left to execute trades (h/t ClutchPoints’ Alex House):

There could be a serviceable option on a conference rival that could really help the Knicks out. ESPN’s Bobby Marks suggested that New York should make a trade for Philadelphia 76ers backup F/C Guerschon Yabusele.

There are many different types of teams as we approach the NBA trading deadline on February 6th. Some franchises want to trade away talent to kickstart or further a rebuild.

The New York Knicks are getting very close to the trade deadline, where they could stand to make some improvements to the roster. The Knicks are in need of another big man as Mitchell Robinson has failed to see the court this season after undergoing ankle surgery months ago.
