The NBA's new collective bargaining agreement has made trades more complex, particularly for the New York Knicks, who are struggling after a quarterfinal loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
With limited salary cap space and new restrictions on salary aggregation, the Knicks face a tough challenge in improving their roster. Their current starting lineup is strong, but the inability to trade key players complicates their options.
As the Feb. 6 trade deadline approaches, the Knicks must creatively navigate these constraints to enhance their championship aspirations.
