The New York Knicks might be prepared to match the “significant price” it would take to acquire the No. 4 overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft from the Sacramento Kings, according to SNY’s Ian Begley.

“People in touch with Sacramento say that in the club’s conversations with New York, the Knicks have talked about offering multiple first-round picks in a package for the No. 4 pick,” Begley reported Tuesday. “I don’t know which players were offered, but it wasn’t enough to lock a deal in.”

Begley cited Purdue’s Jaden Ivey as one target for the Knicks if they do trade up.

All eyes are on the Orlando Magic ahead of the June 23 NBA draft after they won the lottery and secured the No. 1 overall selection.

Behind the Magic, the Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Kings and Detroit Pistons round out the top five.

Jabari Smith, Chet Holmgren, Paolo Banchero and Ivey are among the top prospects in this year’s draft class.
