The Knicks are undecided about what to do with Frank Ntilikina, but if they decide to trade him, there are already some interested teams.

The Magic and Suns have inquired about Ntilikina's availability, reports Stefan Bondy of the Daily News, who adds that Knicks GM Scott Perry approached the Hawks about a potential deal for Ntilikina but was rebuffed.

Bondy adds that Ntilikina has some supporters in the Knicks' front office, but that the team is still at a crossroads regarding what to do.

The 20-year-old Ntilikina has been jerked around by the Knicks this season, with him being benched for games at a time on multiple ocassions.

Ntilikina sat out three games in a row recently before returning last Sunday and playing 28 minutes. He played 17 minutes on Wednesday during the team's loss to the Wizards in London.

Overall this season, Ntilikina is averaging 6.0 points and 2.6 assists while playing just nine minutes per game.
