Knicks Rumors: Playing Fact or Fiction with Latest Buzz Ahead of NBA Free Agency

The verdict: Technically fact-adjacent, but functionally closer to fiction.

Every win-now team would want to get their hands on George, who is one of the league’s most malleable stars. There’s no reason to think the Knicks would be any different, and that’s before accounting for the possibility of OG Anunoby exiting in free agency. (More on that later.)

Still, Stein’s report also included the common theme of George’s desire to stick with the Clippers, provided it makes financial sense to do so. There’s also a chance the star swingman opts out and seeks to get paid in free agency, where teams like the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic loom as possible suitors.

So, sure the Knicks are probably interested in George, but they are far from his likeliest landing spot.
