The Knicks targeted Walker Kessler prior to the acquisition of Karl-Anthony Towns

Regarding backup centers and the trade deadline, I know the Knicks talked to Atlanta this offseason about a deal involving Capela. The Rockets want to win so if they are in a good spot at the trade deadline, I would be surprised if they move Adams. I would keep an eye on Nik Richards in Charlotte as a potential trade candidate. The same goes for Walker Kessler in Utah. As ESPN’s Brian Windhorst noted, Robert Williams is a name to watch out for. Maybe Jonas Valunciunas? -via SportsNet New York / September 13, 2024
