The New York Knicks have been one of the best teams in the NBA this season and currently lead 3-1 in their first round playoff series with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Despite battling injuries all season, they are the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference and have a 50-32 record.
Many superstars are still linked to the Knicks, because playing in New York (at Madison Square Garden) is something that can be very desirable.
Monday, Stephen A. Smith of ESPN (on First take) revealed that Devin Booker is a player who would like to join the Knicks.
Smith: “Devin Booker wants to be in New York. That’s what I’m told. Now he might deny it, I haven’t talked to him.”
Booker finished his ninth NBA season averaging 27.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game while shooting 49.2% from the field and 36.4% from three-point range. 68 matches.
The Suns were expected to be contenders, but they were the sixth seed in the Western Conference and were swept by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

Booker was the 13th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft out of Kentucky and spent his entire career with the Suns.
They were one of the worst teams in the league during the first half of his tenure.
However, the franchise has made the NBA playoffs in each of the previous four seasons and reached the Finals in 2021.
