Taking a flier on Lillard could make a ton of sense for the Knicks. New York insider Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News has urged the team to consider the option. He thinks it could be a match made in heaven.

Lillard of course was cut by Milwaukee due to his Achilles tendon injury having him out for all of next season in a context the team's front office needed to maximize playable talent in order to retain the services of star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo.
