Knicks are already being forced to move on from a promising trade target

After emerging as one of the New York Knicks’ most popular trade targets in recent weeks, Yves Missi must now apparently come off the team’s wish list. No, the New Orleans Pelicans are not sending him elsewhere (yet). They do not have a single first-round pick to trade, so they’ll need the Pelicans’ asking price to considerably drop. The Pelicans effectively booted the Knicks from the Yves Missi sweepstakesSpoiler alert: New Orleans’ asking price isn’t suddenly going to implode. Dangling the Washington Wizards’ 2026 first-round pick is a good place to start for the Knicks.
