With the NBA season in limbo, the New York Knicks rumors are starting to circulate. The newest one is the likelihood of the team picking up Reggie Bullock’s contract for next season.
Add this rumor to the other Knicks ones thus far. One’s that are already swirling are interest in signing free-agent big man Christian Wood and bringing back Maurice ‘Moe’ Harkless.
While these are only a few, these aren’t big headlines for next season. It could be give fans that odd feeling that the lineup could be similar to begin next season despite their high upcoming draft pick. Hopefully there’s a lot of changes that’ll happen in Leon Rose’s first season.
As much as Knicks fans might dislike the rumors of the team going after the biggest names in free agency, at least it’s something. Now we know that the season isn’t over but in a time with no sports, fans need something to talk about. Resigning players that have no future with the team doesn’t move the needle.
However, this could be a good thing. Rose said that he’ll be move behind the scenes when it comes to Knicks. So these rumors could be click-bait. The team is always in the news whether it’s good or bad. So, being quieter and behind the scenes could be for the best. Just got to hope that the Knicks owner falls in suit with taking a more quite approach.
The Knicks are always linked to the biggest names in the NBA whether they’re partially true or not. We all know about last off-season with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. However, it seems like a good move considering how much of a headache those two can be despite their talent. A few months go, the Giannis Antetokounmpo rumors were hot and that’ll start again after next season.
The interest in Christian Wood makes the most sense. Wood is has freakish athleticism for a big man who can shoot from behind the arc. He’ll also be an upgrade defensively which would pair nicely with Mitchell Robinson. Bringing back Harkless is a possibility since he’s young but Bullock is a toss up. Leon Rose will have his hands full in his first season with the New York Knicks.
