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.

Another star who has emerged in trade talks is Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox. One team to watch ahead of the deadline is the Phoenix Suns, who have stayed busy in January, making two trades while remaining in the mix for Butler.
