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 New York Knicks are playing their best basketball of the season at a convenient time. The Feb. 6 trade deadline is around the corner, and front offices around the league are determining what direction they should go in.

While most of the New York Knicks’ depth issues exist in the frontcourt, they need scoring depth badly all around.
