NBA Trade Window: 3 players the New York Knicks should target this month

#1 Dennis Smith Jr.

New York Knicks v Dallas Mavericks

Last month it was reported that the Dallas Mavericks were open to trading away Dennis Smith Jr. This was a major surprise, as Smith Jr. was only selected 9th overall by the Mavericks back in the 2017 draft.

Smith Jr. started 69 games for the Mavericks during the 2017/18 season, averaging 15.2 points, 5.2 points and 3.8 rebounds per game, and the 21-year-old was named to NBA All-Rookie Second Team. While Smith's point tally has dropped this season (12.6), the young guard has improved from behind the arc, and has also increased his field goal percentage to .443.

The Knicks clearly have the assets to complete a trade, as the team can include the likes of Enes Kanter, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Frank Ntilikina. Smith Jr. is still an incredibly exciting prospect, and if the Mavericks man is actually available, the Knicks should go all in on a deal.
