The New York Knicks are reportedly interested in two of the top shooting guards on the open market: Eric Gordon and Courtney Lee.

Phil Jackson is acting hastily to resurrect the New York Knicks. He’s already signed Carmelo Anthony to a long-term, drafted Kristaps Porzingis, and traded for Derrick Rose, but there’s still work to be done in free agency.

Having already locked in on a center to replace Robin Lopez, the Knicks’ next priority is to solidify the perimeter.

The Knicks have reportedly pulled away as the heavy favorites to sign unrestricted free agent Joakim Noah. Noah, who won Defensive Player of the Year in 2014, would undoubtedly address the Knicks’ need for a vocal leader who can anchor the defense.

According to Marc Stein and Ian Begley of ESPN, the Knicks are interested in addressing another void by signing either Eric Gordon or Courtney Lee to play shooting guard.

The Knicks have roughly $30 million to spend in free agency and hope to fit Noah into that space while keeping enough room to add a starting shooting guard. Courtney Lee and Eric Gordon are among the guards the Knicks have a level of interest in, sources say.

Both players could be of intriguing value to Jeff Hornacek‘s crew in 2016-17.

Gordon, 27, is one of the most dynamic scorers in the NBA. He’s an outstanding 3-point shooter with a career mark of 38.3 percent from beyond the arc, and is a capable slasher who can draw contact and finish in traffic.

Unfortunately, Gordon is an injury-prone scoring guard who has missed 173 games over the past five seasons alone.

Lee, 30, is something of a postseason mainstay. He’s played in 50 career playoff games, including an NBA Finals appearance in 2009 and a trip to the second round in 2015.

Lee isn’t quite as dangerous a scorer as Gordon, but he’s a durable player who competes on both ends and has a career 3-point field goal percentage of 38.4 percent.

Between Gordon’s injury history and Lee’s under-appreciated value, the Knicks could strike a bargain deal with one of these two players.
