Kemba Walker the likeliest Knicks player to be traded?

The Knicks have made the entire roster available for sale, with point guard Kemba Walker the likeliest candidate to move on. But Evan Fournier and his $78 million contract also could be on the move.

My pops is a lifetime Knicks fan. I asked him if he’d trade Kemba Walker, Alec Burks and Evan Fournier to the Lakers for Russell Westbrook: “The Knicks could get rid of them MFs … All 3 of them guys can’t give me the effort that Russell Westbrook can give me in 1 game.” – 4:10 PM

Bones Hyland really just stared down Kemba Walker, banged a 3-pointer and pointed at him. Maybe even colder than if Bones had caught a body. – 9:56 PM

Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Bones Hyland sent Kemba Walker to the floor with a stepback, buried a 3-pointer and pointed at Kemba.
Disrespectful. – 9:56 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
Kemba gets a forearm from Bones Hyland, tries for the offensive foul call. No call. While he’s sitting on the floor Hyland drains the 3 – and points to him. And it’s 66-43. – 9:55 PM

More on this storyline

Prior to Wednesday, the Knicks had dialogue with teams on Fournier. New York touched base with the New Orleans Pelicans at one point in the days leading up to the deadline and the Pelicans sought draft compensation in a deal for Fournier. But the talks didn’t progress. New Orleans has since acquired CJ McCollum, so it’s fair to assume that they are not a suitor for Fournier. -via SportsNet New York / February 9, 2022

New York is expected to continue to look for a trade that creates room in the rotation for Cam Reddish. Reddish has played 14.5 minutes per game over the Knicks’ past two games. Prior to that, Reddish played in just three of seven games and was on the court mostly when the game had already been decided. -via SportsNet New York / February 9, 2022

The Knicks could open up playing time on the wing for Reddish or others ahead of the Feb. 10 trade deadline by potentially dealing a veteran guard or wing player, such as Alec Burks, Evan Fournier or Kemba Walker, who already was benched for a nine-game stretch earlier this season. In the meantime, however, Thibodeau stuck with his beleaguered starting unit and his regular rotation — without using Reddish — Friday night against the Bucks. -via New York Post / January 30, 2022
