5 Players who are most likely to be traded before the NBA Trade Deadline

#3 Marcus Morris - New York Knicks

Marcus Morris

Marcus Morris moved to the New York Knicks in controversial circumstances as he had previously verbally agreed to join the San Antonio Spurs, but the veteran has performed well for his new team. Over 23 appearances, Morris has averaged 19.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steal per game, and the former Boston man is also shooting 49 percent from three-point range.

Morris has stated his intention to see out the season in New York, although it makes little sense for the Knicks to retain the veteran when they could get a decent return for his expiring contract. Several playoff hopefuls in both the East and West will be interested in pursuing a deal thanks to his relatively affordable $15 million salary, which means Morris is unlikely to finish the season in New York.
