According to New York reporter Marc Berman, the Knicks have been following Lillard's situation.
Lillard could reportedly return to the Knicks' radar in the offseason this year.
Berman said Kemba Walker's experiment had all but failed and the team desperately needed a point guard.
A league executive said that if the Knicks want To get Lillard, they have to have a good lottery pick this year, along with Barrett.
