Ian Begley of SNY highlighted four potential trade targets for the New York Knicks ahead of the 2026 NBA trade deadline. The suggested players—Andre Drummond, Precious Achiuwa, Dario Saric, and Daniel Gafford—could bolster the Knicks’ frontcourt depth as the team aims to reinforce its roster for a playoff push.
New York Knicks are looking to strengthen their roster ahead of the February 5 trade deadline, and Ian Begley of SNY has highlighted four frontcourt players who could make a difference.

Begley suggested Andre Drummond of the Philadelphia 76ers, Precious Achiuwa and Dario Saric of the Sacramento Kings, and Daniel Gafford of the Dallas Mavericks as potential trade targets for New York.
Adding one of these big men could provide depth and versatility in the frontcourt without disrupting the team’s core.
Drummond stands out with his local roots, having been born in Mount Vernon and played high school and college ball in Connecticut. Known for his dominance on the offensive glass, Drummond averages 4.1 offensive rebounds per game over his career and has led the NBA in rebounds four times.
While the Knicks already have a strong frontcourt duo in Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson, depth remains a concern. Ariel Hukporti has yet to see significant minutes, and Guerschon Yabusele hasn’t had the impact the team hoped for.
