The Knicks face a crucial decision that could alter their future. To sign multiple veterans on non-guaranteed contracts, they need to create space through a trade.
In their 120-103 preseason loss to the Wizards, Tyler Kolek reminded them of the potential consequences of trading away a key future piece for a veteran whose best days are behind them.

The front office is shopping two of their youngest players with the highest upsides for a veteran who has appeared in less than 40 games in each of the last two seasons, hoping it will help them win this year.
Malcolm Brogdon, if healthy, is currently a more impactful player than Kolek, but the Knicks' decision is a risky one.
