The New York Knicks were reportedly interested in trading for one of the NBA's all-time greats before the February deadline.

The Knicks have won three of their last five games by 15 points or more, covering twice as a double-digit favorite. Remember, that’s all without Brunson in the lineup, so there’s no need to adjust off of that. New York is simply blowing out bad teams as it tries to stay sharp and protect its playoff seeding.

The New York Knicks forward was cost the franchise a significant amount of draft picks when the front office traded for him.

The Knicks are leaning on Tyler Kolek more amid Jalen Brunson's injury, but he has continued to deliver the goods in his first real NBA test

The Knicks need to prove they can win. In order to advance to their first NBA Finals since 1999, the Knicks will need to topple both the Celtics and the Cavaliers, unless those squads somehow lose in the first or second round to a much weaker team.

One would certainly be the 114-113 overtime loss at home to the New York Knicks. Deni Avdija put the Blazers ahead 113-111 after completing a three-point play with a few seconds remaining.
