The New York Knicks reportedly have interest in point guard Terry Rozier and small forward Marcus Morris this summer, according to A. Sherrod Blakely of NBC Sports Boston.
Rozier is a restricted free agent this offseason, while Morris is an unrestricted free agent.
Multiple league sources tell NBC Sports Boston that the Knicks, a team with plenty of roster holes to fill this offseason, have interest in at least two other Celtics players besides Irving — Marcus Morris and Terry Rozier — who like Irving, will be free agents this summer.
New York’s interest in Rozier has been steady, only to have picked up during Rozier’s strong showing in the playoffs last year and continued through the February trade deadline, which is when Boston made the decision to keep Rozier and the rest of the team intact.
As for Morris, his play in the postseason will increase the number of potential suitors for him when he becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
As a restricted free agent, the Celtics can match any offer sheet Rozier signs with another team. The Knicks, of course, have been heavily linked to Celtics star Kyrie Irving as well.
Rozier averaged 9.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game this season. Morris, meanwhile, put up 13.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists.
