New York Knick stars are showing that they are together through it all.

A player both the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics would have loved to have before Thursday’s NBA trade deadline […]

While the rest of the NBA is in a holding pattern waiting for the Giannis Antetokounmpo domino to fall, it appears the New York Knicks are performing due diligence along the margins and scouring the trade market elsewhere.

However, ESPN’s Zach Kram’s Knicks trade idea would transform New York from title contenders to title favorites. The hypothetical deal would land the franchise a 6-foot-11 Milwaukee Bucks NBA champion forward.

It was fitting, then, that the Lakers were back at the Garden for the trade’s first anniversary — and that Doncic dominated, even in a losing effort, 112-100, against the Knicks. Playing at MSG for the first time as a Laker, the 26-year-old Doncic dazzled with 30 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists in 37 minutes.

The Knicks are riding a five-game winning streak on the strength of their defense, while having a "bunker mentality" when trade deadline rumors hang over the team.

The Portland Trail Blazers and New York Knicks are being linked in vastly varied trade scenarios these days.
