On December 15, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and in a previously concluded game, the Warriors won a strong victory over the Knicks on the road and continued the winning streak. In fact, the most important thing in this game is not whether Curry can break Ray Allen's three-point record at madison Garden Square, the home of the Knicks. And Curry finally lived up to expectations, breaking the three-point record held by Ray Allen in the first quarter, and led the team to victory, which is also a double happiness, and then Curry is continuing this record with every three-pointer, we are also witnesses to history, this feeling is indeed wonderful.
Of course, in addition to focusing on Curry in this game, we also need to pay attention to the play of some of the role players and the trade rumors they have recently fallen into. One of the players may be Knox, the 2019 lotto show has not developed as expected in the last two seasons, and everyone expected him to be a good ball-handling three-pointer, but his overall development in the Knicks is really not good, which is the most important reason why he was abandoned after Thibodeau joined the Knicks. However, he is a striker who is more than 2 meters tall, has excellent physical fitness, and also has a one-handed shot, so he has no shortage of suitors.
One of the suitors who are most interested in Knox is undoubtedly the Rockets. The Rockets had been hoping to send House away for some time, and of course, House certainly couldn't get any too good players, so they also set their sights on Knox, who didn't have too good opportunities in the Knicks. Compared to Knox, House's game experience will be better, which is in line with Thibodeau's employment philosophy, and the Rockets are now in the stage of complete reconstruction, and they definitely want to be younger, so this deal is also considered to be what they need.
Of course, the main reason why the deal didn't take shape before was first, the Knicks were worried that House's overall state was not good, and the second was because Knox's contract was bigger than House's, probably more than $2 million, so it might require the Rockets to play another draft pick or add a head player, which the Rockets were reluctant to do, because they didn't want to take a draft pick or more players for a Knox, so the trade was also shelved. And in today's game against the Warriors, Knox played 19 minutes, 4 shots 2 of 9 points and 7 rebounds, it is also a small outbreak, so now the Rockets want to use House alone to replace him with the possibility is relatively small, but the two sides can still talk, after all, Knox is no longer in the Knicks' future plans, and then we will see how the two sides will choose it.
