NEW YORK — A person with knowledge of the deal says the New York Knicks have traded guard Pablo Prigioni to the Houston Rockets for guard Alexey Shved and two second-round picks.
The person says the Knicks will get one of the picks in 2017 and the other in 2019. The person spoke to The Associated Press Thursday on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced.
Prigioni averaged 4.7 points in 43 games this season, sitting out some as the Knicks turned to younger players. His departure leaves Carmelo Anthony as the only player left from New York’s 2013 Atlantic Division championship team.
The deal helps the Knicks continue shedding future salary, as Prigioni’s $1.7 million for next season is partially guaranteed. Shved’s contract expires after this season.
