Anything can happen in the hours leading up to the NBA trade deadline, but the New York Knicks weren’t on the verge of making any major deals as of Wednesday evening, according to head coach Kurt Rambis.
“Anything that comes up, I’m sure [Phil Jackson and Steve Mills] will address it with me and ask the opinion of the coaching staff and what they think, but nothing’s come out,” Rambis said after Wednesday’s evening practice.
Carmelo Anthony echoed the same sentiment after the Knicks’ first practice following the All-Star break.
“If you don’t hear anything as of now, I doubt we’re probably even doing something.
But you never know,” Anthony said.
The Knicks would like to upgrade the backcourt, according to sources, and will likely continue to pursue their options on that front Thursday.
