Knicks may pursue Kel'El Ware as center depth option
Summary

The New York Knicks are considering a trade for center Kel'El Ware from the Milwaukee Bucks. With owner James Dolan restricting spending above the second apron, the Knicks’ options are limited following the departure of Mitchell Robinson to the Boston Celtics. Currently, the roster includes Andre Drummond and one additional center, necessitating further additions at the position. CBS Sports suggests a trade involving future draft picks for Ware, though prospects of such a transaction appear slim as the Bucks value him as a core asset following his acquisition.
