Part 2/7:
Just weeks ago, Jericho Sims was praised for his contributions on the defensive end. His performances initially showcased potential and ignited discussions around his role with the Knicks. However, following a few key mistakes and turnovers, head coach Tom Thibodeau decided to take Sims out of the rotation, which has led to a drastic dip in playing time. Sims did see limited action against the Timberwolves, but this was primarily due to Josh Hart’s absence.
Now, with Sims nearing the end of his current contract and expected to hit unrestricted free agency next season, NBA insiders believe he may be on the trade block. Mark Stein of Bleacher Report has indicated that Sims's minimal role is putting him on the radar of rival executives, amplifying speculation about a potential trade.
