The New York Knicks and the point guard position have become synonymous. Unfortunately, that’s because they haven’t had a bonafide starting point guard for the better part of the last decade.

New York’s never-ending search for a point guard was supposed to end last offseason when they signed hometown hero Kemba Walker. That didn’t quite work out, though.

Now, they’ll be heading into yet another offseason where they need will be in search of a starting point guard. And while the draft presents some promising options, the trade market could be their best bet.

Here are three potential trades that would land the Knicks a new starting point guard.

NBA Trades: 3 New York Knicks trades for a starting point guard: Indiana Pacers

Knicks receive: Malcolm Brogdon

Pacers receive: Quentin Grimes, Cam Reddish, Alec Burks, #46 Pick

This connection has been made by several outlets, as the Indiana Pacers are expected to entertain offers for Malcolm Brogdon this summer. And, if that is the case, the New York Knicks should definitely be interested.

Despite his shooting numbers last season, which were oddly low, Brogdon has been one of the most reliable guards in the league. He’s always been an efficient scorer, an underappreciated playmaker, and a solid defender.

New York would be sending out two young pieces who could help the Pacers. Quentin Grimes would prove to be a solid shooter to pair alongside Tyrese Haliburton, while Cam Reddish could reset his career in Indiana. Meanwhile, Alec Burks is mainly included to match salaries but would be a nice depth piece.

Brogdon would help the Knicks make a playoff push with his veteran experience, while Grimes, Reddish, and the extra second would help the Pacers further their rebuild.
