According to Woj, the New York Knicks are on the verge of a deal to acquire Andrea Bargnani from Toronto:
The Toronto Raptors are finalizing an agreement on a trade to send former No. 1 overall pick Andrea Bargnani to the New York Knicks, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The Knicks will send their 2016 first-round pick to the Raptors, and a package that includes Marcus Camby and Steve Novak, league sources said.
The Knicks will also send two future second-round picks to Toronto, sources said.
The oft-injured Bargnani missed 47 games last season, and the Sporting News’ Sean Deveney tweeted this tidbit of info:
