#1 Trey Burke
Throughout January, Trey Burke barely featured for the Knicks, although the 26-year-old made a spectator last week return as he dropped 25 points on the Nets. Nevertheless, the New York Post is reporting that the Knicks want to trade Burke, and the player himself would be happy to leave:

In search of second-round picks, the Knicks will explore trading Burke at the Feb. 7 deadline, and he said he’s fine whether he stays or goes. This latest showcase for Burke, a free agent, is bound to turn NBA heads. The Lakers are without injured point guard Lonzo Ball, the Warriors are thin at backup point guard with Quinn Cook and the Nets just lost Spencer Dinwiddie for weeks to thumb surgery.
Burke has been with the Knicks for just over a year and is this season averaging 11.6 points and 2.9 assists per game. Burke will also become a free agent in the summer, so it makes sense for the Knicks to trade him ahead of the deadline.
