ATLANTA — As news buzzed Tuesday about the increased likelihood of Zach LaVine being traded, the Knicks inevitably were thrown into the speculation pool because that’s the nature of a big-market team with assets and needs.

But there are multiple reasons a LaVine-to-Knicks deal won’t happen.

A source reiterated to The Post this week that LaVine’s camp would prefer not to go to Leon Rose’s squad.

It doesn’t completely rule out a trade (a deal can’t be stopped without a no-trade clause), but the Knicks, beyond whatever landmines they would hope to avoid by acquiring a player under those circumstances, aren’t a good fit.
