Episode Details

The Knicks made a move to acquire Pelicans center Karlo Matković — but New Orleans turned them down. While that rejection signals the Pels aren’t ready to trade big men now, it’s a strategic play by New York: planting a seed for future deals. With Matković on his rookie deal’s final year and playing time dwindling, he’s a tempting rental for the Knicks — who can afford to gamble on him as a short-term fix without hurting their long-term flexibility. If the Pelicans eventually decide to sell, they’ll know the Knicks are serious buyers — and willing to pay up.
