With so many of their previous options seemingly coming off the table, the New York Knicks may have already entered contingency-plan mode in advance of the trade deadline. That’s quite alright, because one of their safety nets is Naji Marshall, a close-to-ideal acquisition—so long as he doesn’t cost Deuce McBride or Mitchell Robinson…which he might.
The 28-year-old combo forward was recently identified by SNY’s Ian Begley as a name the Knicks are keeping tabs on. He appears to be far from Plan A, but the team is quickly finding out its primary targets are complicated endeavors, if not outright no-gos.
