After already pulling off a blockbuster deal last week, would the Knicks consider one more monster trade prior to Thursday’s deadline? On Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that Anthony Davis’ representatives have informed the Pelicans that, should he be traded, AD would sign long-term with only four teams, the Lakers, Knicks, Bucks and Clippers. For instance, there only three players in NBA history with a Player Efficiency Rating north of 27.0: Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Anthony Davis. With New York being one of only four destinations Davis is interested in, the Knicks have no choice but to weigh their options. If the Pelicans hold onto AD past the trade deadline, it allows more teams (namely the Celtics) to get involved in the AD sweepstakes this summer.
