New York Knicks: Five Possible Deals At NBA's Trade Deadline

The needs were easy to list.

Knicks coach Kurt Rambis expects Carmelo Anthony (knee) to play in every game the rest of the way.

Those are things that they can't control. The Denver Nuggets control it from the Carmelo Anthony trade, but it could wind up with the Toronto Raptors if the Knicks finish with a better record than the Nuggets this season. They didn't have enough to pry point guard Brandon Jennings from Detroit, which sent him to Orlando for Tobias Harris.

Anthony had 33 points and 13 rebounds against the Wizards while Kristaps Porzingis scored 20, but the Knicks again dug themselves an early hole and couldn't rally. Arron Afflalo and Derrick Wiliams got player options for next season.

Sure, the Knicks may stumble down the stretch with no real threat at point guard and without a draft pick this summer, that will hurt. Rookie Jerian Grant was expected to provide that athleticism at the points, but he has not panned out yet, struggling to learn the intricacies of the triangle offense. But with plenty of cap-space for free agency, the Knicks now will get the chance to not only add Conley, but also maintain their draft picks and continuously improve the roster over time. But we hand-picked all these guys, so we like them. "Now we're out here trying to develop them and work with them so that they understand how to play the game the way we want them to play". There have been rumors of trade proposals that involve Melo.

Knicks president Phil Jackson this month said that the Knicks hoped to be active at the deadline.

The Knicks still have an open roster spot. Do we sit in a really favorable spot?

Calderon, who has been well aware of the efforts to replace him, took the criticism - and the rumors - with a grain of salt.

Robin Lopez is a solid starting center, and those players will always draw some interest, but for the $12.65 million he's receiving this year, the team isn't going to get back a starting player of similar value without taking back more money; and there does need to be some infrastructure in place to recruit free agents.

The rookie sensation learned the hard way over the All-Star Break that he will never be just another anonymous 7-foot-3 basketball player while vacationing with his family.

"I look forward to the challenge of creating a unified culture and building a winning team, " Marks said. "This just showed me that I'm not a normal person anymore, especially when there are a lot of people who recognize you", he said.
