Reddit r/NYKnicksNBA logoNBA
Rumor

It’s a minor move on the margins, but bringing Rob Dillingham into the fold is another low-risk, high reward lottery ticket swing by Leon Rose. Maybe it amounts to nothing, but the 8th pick of the 2024 draft is still just 21-years old & perhaps his presence is insurance in case they eventually trade Tyler Kolek for a big man. submitted by /u/ssimineri [link] [comments]
