New York doesn’t have to do anything between now and the trade deadline to reach its goals. The Knicks have been fine with the roster as is. With that said, the sense around the league is that the Knicks will do something minor in order to bolster their bench, whether sooner by getting a player back in a trade or later in the buyout market.

New York is 31-16, with the league's second-best offense -- can they team get even better before the deadline?

There could be a serviceable option on a conference rival that could really help the Knicks out. ESPN’s Bobby Marks suggested that New York should make a trade for Philadelphia 76ers backup F/C Guerschon Yabusele.
