“I would love to see him at the Garden,” Monroe mentioned in an interview with New York Post. “His game is made for 33rd Street. I would love to see it, but I don’t know if it will happen. You get to a point he’s going to teams — except for OKC — that can compete for the championship. I don’t know if the Knicks can compete unless they get another piece.”

NY Knicks looking to develop their roster

Despite a loss to the Hawks in the postseason’s first round, the NY Knicks played an underdog role this season. MSG was decked up with excited fans in the stands cheering for their team. Notably, Julius Randle was Knicks’ leading star this year alongside his individual accolades.

The 1973 Knicks champion, Monroe believes that Paul’s addition could make the Knicks an even stronger competitor next season. He said, “They (Knicks) have a nucleus of guys. They need a little bit more. They were very competitive all year and didn’t have [center] Mitchell Robinson most of the year.”

Monroe played for the Knicks for nine long years, winning a title for the team during the time. His desire for Paul’s trade to his city is still an unanswered prayer. The Suns’ star is building his career’s biggest moment for now; will he switch his interests to the Knicks?
