The Feb. 9 trade deadline is looming, and the skidding Knicks obviously need reinforcements.
Will his role ever expand? Will he ever perform up to the level of the eighth-overall pick? Odds are, it won’t happen here, not as long as Julius Randle is playing so well.
His defensive issues and inability to create his own shot won’t help his trade value. He is still an asset, on his rookie deal, and his 3-point shooting has improved — Toppin is shooting a career-best 36.2 percent from distance — even if his overall numbers have regressed. He could be part of a deal to land an established veteran. According to NBA reporter Sean Deveney, the Knicks and Pacers have talked about a deal involving Toppin.
