Overview

• The Knicks have set a condition for any potential trade involving Quentin Grimes, seeking a perceived upgrade rather than a back-of-the-rotation swap.
• Injuries to key players like Julius Randle and OG Anunoby have prompted the Knicks to consider changes to their roster before the trade deadline.
• The Knicks have expressed legitimate interest in Charlotte Hornets' power forward P.J. Washington as they aim to strengthen their depth for a championship push.
• Despite his current knee injury, Quentin Grimes is expected to remain with the Knicks past the trade deadline, as the team values his contribution.
• The Knicks' recent performance, winning 86.7 percent of their games in January, positions them as strong contenders in the Eastern Conference.
