Knicks trying to trade for Pistons' Jaden Ivey

The Pistons selected Jaden Ivey with the No. 5 pick, forming a potentially dynamic backcourt with last year’s top pick, Cade Cunningham.

However, the Knicks didn’t give up on their pursuit of Ivey easily. They are trying to make a deal with Detroit to acquire the jet-quick point guard out of Purdue, according to Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer and SNY TV’s Ian Begley.

Apparently, the Pistons may have some interest if Memphis center Jalen Duren is still available at New York’s pick at No. 11, Steve Popper of Newsday tweets. However, a source told Yahoo Sports’ Vince Goodwill that the Pistons are keeping Ivey.

New York is desperately seeking a lead guard to get back into the postseason after coming up empty this past season.
