The New York Knicks are rumored to have a possible deal with Chris Bosh from the Miami Heat in order to complete their core lineup and have a subsequent boost for their roster.
According to the Parent Herald, it is possible for the trade to happen, since after sustaining a blood clot injury, he has seen a decline in his performance as an athlete in the previous season. Bosh has only been present in a total of 97 games during the last two NBA seasons because of this, and so the Miami Heat might be more inclined to let him go. Of course, the Knicks are expected to trade a couple of their players or their future draft picks to ensure that the dream deal will be done.
Another basis of this rumor is the fact that Phil Jackson said earlier that he still plans to add one more star to the team. As such, Bosh is the most logical choice when it comes to a better scoring option. Furthermore, overall the Knicks seems to be a much better choice than the Heat in terms of using Bosh's skills to ensure a good championship run this upcoming season.
Should this deal occur, it is most logical for the Knicks to send over Joakim Noah as well as some of their other players to Heat. This will affect the team lineup, of course, with Krisptaps Porzingis changing his position to center. However, it pays off since Bosh's outside shooting prowess will stretch any team's defense, allowing Derrick Rose to break through the driving lane much easier.
However, a report made by the Ecumenical News says that the Knicks will not have enough resources to get Bosh from the Miami Heat, unless they trade off Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose. Regardless, fans should just wait for further announcements should the trade proceed.
