The Latin signing that could improve the roster of the New York Knicks
The date (15th of December) when teams can make offers to key players is approaching.
NBA franchises closely monitor any possible moves that New Orleans may make in the market. According to Ian Begley, several teams are closely watching which players could become available in the NBA market and what kind of compensation the Pelicans would seek in a potential trade. The most notable one would be the one involving Jose Alvarado and the New York Knicks.
Begley stated: "And I think the league teams are watching to see who New Orleans will make available. What will they want in exchange for those players? A player from New York, Jose Alvarado; if they make him available, I'm sure the Knicks will be one of the interested teams. The Knicks will be among the many teams interested in Jose Alvarado if he becomes available. And the interesting thing about Jose is his salary, I think it's at 4.5 million, so matching salaries is less complicated with that figure. If you talk about a backup point guard for the Knicks, you're talking about a player like Alvarado, who defends and brings great intensity on that side of the court. I'm sure many teams will call if New Orleans makes him available."
Alvarado, an option for the Knicks?
The interest in New Yorker Jose Alvarado is explained by both his playing style and his contract, close to 4.5 million dollars, which simplifies salary matching operations. His defensive ability and the energy he brings in every play make him an attractive profile for any team looking to strengthen the backup point guard position.
If New Orleans decides to start discussions and listen to offers, it is expected that multiple franchises will reach out to explore the possibility of acquiring Alvarado's services.
