NBA Rumors for Philadelphia 76ers Trading Jahlil Okafor To NY Knicks makes more sense than ever

NBA Rumors have taken a back page for the time being with regards to recent news about the New York Knicks. Star point guard Derrick Rose has once more made the front pages in an unflattering light.  He went AWOL Monday night, simply not showing up to join is team in facing the New Orleans Pelicans.

That game did not end well for the Knicks, as they lost 110-96. In the game, Porzingis scored 9 points.  But Joakim Noah, the center free agent signed to a four-year $72 Million contract, did not help matters either. In that game, he pulled down 10 rebounds, but only scored four points.

Public sentiment has converted from the euphoria of expecting a deep playoff run by these Knicks, to now supporting plans for small forward Carmelo Anthony to look for an escape clause in his contract and sign up with a more competitive team.

In many cases, Knicks’ advocates have not given solid reasons for either Jahlil Okafor or Nerlens Noel.  We have even picked up on those NBA rumors as well. Let’s see if we can help out our good friends over at the Daily Knicks?
