The New York Knicks won't be making any blockbuster trades anytime soon. Not until they have a president of basketball operations, that is.
The organization is reportedly trigger shy in pulling off a Carmelo Anthony trade until there's someone at the helm of the front office, according to Marc Berman of the New York Post.
Talks between the Houston Rockets and the Knicks have ceased momentarily, as the Houston Chronicle reported that there are no “active talks’’ between the two franchises.
Another franchise in the run for the star forward is the Miami Heat, who took off $25 million off their cap space by making a special waiver of the blood-clot-riddled Chris Bosh under his very own “Bosh Rule” provision.
Part of that newfound money can go to Dion Waiters, who has been a target of the Knicks for several weeks.
New York's reluctance to find a trade partner just shaves the chances of getting a proper return in an exchange, as the more time that passes, the more teams have started to mold their final product that they'll take into the regular season.
Waiting for a president just shows that the organization is in the same hands, waiting to have somebody at the helm to point the finger at and draw the likely criticism that will come along with trading Anthony in a not-so-generous market.
The Knicks have been gathering information in former Cleveland Cavaliers general manager David Griffin, a primary candidate to take the job, after other potential replacements have passed on the opportunity.
