Also, the Hawks are trying to turn the corner and win now so they are more open to getting a vet. The Knicks are still in full rebuilding mode so they may just want younger players while using free agency to add vets.
There’s no telling that the same offers would be available to the Knicks or that the Knicks would accept. Boston is one of the teams looking to trade up and rumors are they want Okongwu, who may be there when the Knicks pick. If the Celtics are now talking to Atlanta about moving up, maybe that means the Knicks didn’t want to trade down with them. There’s just no telling really.
