5 players New York Knicks could target before the NBA trade deadline

#3 Buddy Hield

Sacramento Kings vs Houston Rockets

Buddy Hield can heat up from the floor in a matter of seconds and is another great player to target for the New York Knicks this season. However, it remains to be seen if the Sacramento Kings are willing to give him up.

Hield can shoot the ball with high accuracy and is primed to take a leap in the coming years. In that regard, the New York Knicks could be a viable destination for the young up and coming star.

#4 Marvin Bagley III

Sacramento Kings vs Houston Rockets

The New York Knicks are off to a great start this season but lack core players to groom into top contenders for the future.

Both the Sacramento Kings and the New York Knicks are in rebuilding mode, and this presents an opportunity for the Knicks to bring Marvin Bagley III to the big apple.

The Kings seem to be building a team around De'Aaron Fox and could possibly give up Marvin if New York can sweeten the pot.

Bagley is having a good season this campaign, averaging 12 points and eight rebounds on 40% shooting from the field and 35% from beyond the arc.

#5 Victor Oladipo

New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers

Despite Victor Oladipo's impressive record as a former All-Star, his stock has fallen due to injury concerns, which has brought him into trade discussions.

The former Most Improved Player winner has played with the best in the league and proven to be a difference-maker.

If the New York Knicks are ready to part ways with some of their younger talent, they can make this trade work and bring Oladipo in. The risk-reward ratio will be high but so will be the payout.
