The New York Knicks may, or may not, be exploring the possibility of adding veteran point guard Russell Westbrook this off-season.

Despite not having a head coach in place yet following the firing of Tom Thibodeau, the New York Knicks are preparing for a pivotal NBA free agency period.

Stein claimed that the Sacramento Kings have interest in signing Westbrook, while “New York is no longer regarded as a viable destination for the nine-time NBA All-Star.” The report comes as the Knicks showed interest in acquiring Westbrook on Monday.
