The Knicks have made it known that they’re making a push to compete this season after trading for former MVP Derrick Rose and it seems that former Bulls teammate Joakim Noah may be on his way to the Big Apple as well.

Currently the only other guards on the roster are Langston Galloway and Justin Holiday after Arron Afflalo opted out of his contract. Galloway has had a few nice games here and there, including a 21-point outburst against Oklahoma City last season, but he’s likely best suited as a reserve shooting guard.

The Knicks clearly will make Noah and possibly Eric Gordon their early priorities, but if teams are scared off by Jack’s injury they may be able to nab him later in the summer for an affordable price.

A reliable backup point guard should be a priority considering that Derrick Rose has not played close to a full season since the 2010-11 campaign.
