As the Knicks continue to look for a point guard this offseason, Brandon Knight is one name that came up in conversation with Phoenix recently, per league sources.
Perry was believed to have been of the opinion that a possible incorporation of Anthony in the Knicks' system can be achieved, and the star forward was taken off the trading block shortly after - even before Perry's hire was announced.
Paul added that he and James Harden have been in communication daily since the trade and sees no issue in terms of their fit on court together. When the Houston Rockets guard signed a four-year contract extension to keep him in the organization for the next six seasons, Harden earned $228 million across that window, as well as a permanent franchise. "I think that's something time will tell and we'll figure it out", Paul said in an interview with ESPN following his introductory press conference in Houston on Friday. "We're going to help this team hopefully get to where we want to be". "What we have right now in our locker room is pretty good". He can pitch Anthony on a trade all he wants, but if the Knicks and Rockets front offices can't reach an agreement then there isn't much else he can do.
Harden wasn't sweating this situation, putting his hands up like most people in the National Basketball Association have during this free agency frenzy. "I go out there and put the basketball in the hoop and handle my business".
