#2 Julius Randle interested in joining the New York Knicks

There is mutual interest between Julius Randle and the New York Knicks

After finishing the 18-19 season with the NBA's worst overall record (17-65), the New York Knicks are expected to be among summer's most active teams. The Knicks have the cap space to add two max-contracts, and Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated is reporting that the team is interested in adding Julius Randle:

Other free agents on the Knicks’ radar include their own free agent center DeAndre Jordan, Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins and twins Markieff and Marcus Morris. New Orleans Pelicans forward Julius Randle and the Knicks also have mutual interest, according to sources.

Randle joined the Pelicans after being released by the Los Angeles Lakers last summer, and during his first season in New Orleans, the 24-year-old averaged 21.4 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in 30.6 minutes per outing.
