Because he makes $5 million next season and still hasn’t proven himself durable or productive enough for a mid-lottery pick, the Knicks had entertained offers for the French point guard on draft night and at February’s trade deadline. But the offers weren’t deemed worthy of a player who is a known stout defender and still has upside as an offensive player if he can improve upon his 3-point shooting (career 30.5 percent).
Marc Berman: Frank Ntilikina is finally back in New York to see his French friend, Sekou Doumboya get drafted in lottery, per source. They are both repped by French agent Bouna Ndiaye, who took over Frank’s affairs after season.
It’s logical to think that there are no players on the Knicks roster who are off limits when it comes to potential trades, but 2017 first-round pick Frank Ntilikina is one player who members of the organization are open to listening to offers on, sources confirm. Ntilikina has been a part of trade rumors for several months. It is unclear what the Knicks would be looking for in return for a Ntilikina deal, but the New York Post, which first reported the Knicks’ willingness to move Ntilikina, says the club is looking for a late first or second-round pick.
Ntilikina recently signed with French agent Bouna Ndiaye after parting ways with his previous agents at CAA. He hasn’t been at the Knicks training facility and hasn’t attended any Finals games with Knicks coaches as some other young players on the roster have. Those reading the tea leaves see that as further evidence that Ntilikina isn’t in the club’s future plans.
