The Knicks have engaged in trade discussions with the Portland Trail Blazers in hopes of prying guard Rudy Fernandez, according to an N.B.A. executive. In the past, Fernandez has voiced displeasure over his role with Portland. The Knicks are on the verge of a free agency they hope will vastly restock their team and have long been interested in Fernandez. If the talks proceed, the Knicks will most likely part with Wilson Chandler or Toney Douglas. New York Times

The Knicks are delighted with the offseason commitment made by Toney Douglas, being penciled in as their starting point guard after improving his jump shot this offseason. He probably is their best defensive player and, ironically, his rights were bought, too. The Knicks paid the Lakers $3 million for the 29th pick last year. New York Post
