The New York Knicks have already clinched a spot in the postseason and are now focusing on preparing for a playoff push in the coming weeks.
Under the leadership of Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby, acquired in a trade last December, the Knicks boast a strong roster. Nonetheless, they may contemplate making changes if they face another early exit from the playoffs.
Should the Knicks be eliminated from the postseason earlier than anticipated, they could potentially target Donovan Mitchell, the guard from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Previously, the Knicks engaged in trade discussions with the Utah Jazz regarding Mitchell, but were outbid by Cleveland. Mitchell, with just one year left on his contract, is heading into a crucial offseason with the Cavaliers.
Mitchell will soon be eligible for a four-year extension worth around $200 million, and the Cavaliers seem optimistic about his decision to stay. Owner Dan Gilbert expressed confidence, stating that Mitchell loves the city, as reported by Larry Lage of the Associated Press.
However, Mitchell has been somewhat vague in public statements regarding his contract situation.
