The New York Knicks are off to a strong start, but are still the subject of a number of trade rumors.
Check out the latest news below.
Knicks Discussed Smith Trade
A trade that the Knicks have been exploring includes JR Smith.
The team had recent conversations with the Indiana Pacers regarding ex-Knick Chris Copeland, a league source told the New York Post.
Copeland is a 3-point specialist, but more importantly has an expiring contract so he wouldn’t affect their cap space after this year.
Smith has a $6.4 million play option after this year, and could always opt in and not be off the books until 2016.
Copeland is averaging 16 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in 30 minutes a game this season so far, with a bigger role because of the Paul George injury.
A source told the Post that if a trade does happen, it won’t be until December 15--the date when 2014 free-agent signees and 2014 draft picks are eligible to be traded.
Kobe to Knicks?
