The New York Knicks are currently struggling in the Eastern Conference, benching Kemba Walker out of the rotation— which triggers trade rumors around the league.

The Knicks entered the season with significant expectations for Walker. The All-Star was suggested as another piece to contribute to New York's scoring load, with hopes of solving last year's offensive struggles.

However, after a 10-9 record, coach Tom Thibodeau decided to bench Walker, starting Alec Burks at the point guard position. It turns out that this decision didn't turn out well for the team, as the Knicks have lost two out of their eight games. Today, they sit 12th in the conference with a 12-16 record.

Many believe that Walker possesses too much talent to sit on the bench, triggering numerous trade rumors in the NBA. However, this specific rumor doesn't prove any development related to Walker's case.

There is no interest league-wide in taking on Kemba Walker according to multiple sources.

The league consensus is that Walker’s knees represent too much of a risk even if his play with New York and Boston was more about the situation.

Walker, a well-accomplished veteran in the league, is respected by numerous players and coaches in the NBA. The question is, does Thibodeau's decision cement Kemba's decline as a player? Or, does it simply mean that his style of play doesn't fit the Knicks?

Moving forward, fans are eager for New York's future roster moves. Although, the Knicks might want to pick up the pace, as many teams in the East are effectively vying for a spot in the playoffs.
