As previously mentioned, the Knicks are gearing up for a major summer of change, and Marc Stein of the New York Times is reporting that a number of the current roster could depart before the trade deadline:

The Knicks have made Tim Hardaway Jr. and Courtney Lee available via trade in advance of the NBA's Feb. 7 trade deadline. The veteran Knicks forward Enes Kanter has also been made available by the Knicks in advance of the trade deadline.

Enes Kanter will become a free agent in the summer, and the Turkish center has repeatedly stated that he's unhappy with his current role on the team. Meanwhile, both Hardaway Jr. and Lee have multiple years left on their deals, with Hardaway Jr. set to earn $37m for the next two years - while Lee is set to earn $12m for the 19/20 campaign.
