Knicks made push for Alex Caruso before Bulls traded him to Thunder
NY Post
The Knicks seemed to have a better deal on the table for Alex Caruso, but instead, the Bulls went for the one-for-one deal with Oklahoma City.
A league source told NBC Sports Chicago that the “Knicks and Sacramento Kings both offered draft capital to the Bulls in packages they felt were superior to the one-for-one deal.”
The Athletic had previously reported the Kings deal included the 13th overall pick in the NBA draft being held at Barclays Center on Wednesday.
The Knicks own the 24th and 25th picks in the first round of this year’s draft.
It isn’t entirely clear what the exact specifics for any Knicks deal would have looked like.
It was reported last week by Yahoo Sports’ Jake Fischer that the Knicks had been contacting opposing teams about moving center Mitchell Robinson.

On one level, it’s hard to shake this part of it from your mind. Think about how many times you and your best friends from college talked at the tail ends of after-hours parties about putting enough scratch together a few years after graduation to maybe, someday soon, rent a house down the Jersey shore or out in the Hamptons for a week.
