New York doesn’t have to do anything between now and the trade deadline to reach its goals. The Knicks have been fine with the roster as is. With that said, the sense around the league is that the Knicks will do something minor in order to bolster their bench, whether sooner by getting a player back in a trade or later in the buyout market.

The Mavericks and Nets agreed days before the trade deadline on a deal that sent Kyrie Irving to Dallas for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith and a package of draft picks. It created a big new duo: Irving and Luka Doncic.
