As the New York Knicks continue to rebuild under the new leadership of Tom Thibodeau, they seek to improve their roster by various means and, according to Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News, a potential target they have been monitoring is CJ McCollum , from the Portland Trail Blazers. Despite being injured, McCollum is still drawing attention.
The Knicks have been linked to other potential commercial targets in several reports, including Zach LaVine in Chicago, Victor Oladipo in Houston and Lonzo Ball in New Orleans. A source said they are also monitoring CJ McCollum of Portland, who is recovering from a fractured foot and still has about $ 100 million guaranteed three years after this season.
The Blazers (18-10) have played well since McCollum’s injury, with substitute point guard Gary Trent Jr. standing out. But it is not clear whether Portland is willing to negotiate with McCollum.
The Knicks are reportedly also interested in trying to get Bradley Beal out of Washington, but Beal, who has been dedicated to the Wizards, is unlikely to budge.
