Despite not making a trade during the season in order to get him, the Knicks are still making plans about Ricky Rubio for the upcoming off-season.

New York still needs a guard with the passing ability of Rubio and that’s why according to the ESPN his name is still on the list.

Some members of the organization would again like to try to pursue Minnesota’s Ricky Rubio in a trade this offseason, sources said. The Knicks were close to completing a deal shortly before the trade deadline centered around Derrick Rose and Rubio. Talks continued until shortly before the deadline.

Per league sources with knowledge of the situation, some Knicks decision-makers see trading for Rubio as a viable option this offseason.

The question is what the Knicks can give to the Timberwolves in order to get him, considering the fact that Derrick Rose is now a free agent.
