"Knicks' Trade Deadline Strategy: Fournier, Brown, Clarkson, and More"

The New York Knicks are considering potential trade opportunities for Evan Fournier, aiming to acquire a player earning in the $20MM range who is under contract beyond this season. Talks with the Raptors have centered around a deal for Bruce Brown, and discussions with the Pistons for Alec Burks may continue leading up to the deadline. Trade involving Quentin Grimes seems less likely as the Knicks seek a valuable long-term contributor. Informal talks with the Hawks about Dejounte Murray have not advanced past the concept stage, and the Knicks have cooled on the idea of adding another big man, possibly due to Precious Achiuwa's strong play.

NBA Trade Rumors: Lillard, Harden, Brogdon, Fournier, and Rockets - A Free Agency Update

The Portland Trail Blazers are open to trading Damian Lillard but will prioritize the best deal for the team rather than Lillard's preferred destination of Miami. The Philadelphia 76ers' asking price for James Harden is high, and they want to pair him with Joel Embiid to contend for a title. The Boston Celtics have no plans to trade Malcolm Brogdon, who is recovering from a right elbow injury. The New York Knicks will explore trades involving Evan Fournier but are not actively pursuing Lillard or Harden. The Houston Rockets may include multiple trade agreements in a sign-and-trade deal for Dillon Brooks to maximize their cap room.
