Erving was traded by the Virginia Squires to the Sixers. I don’t remember him playing for the Knicks.

I was at the first game Dr. J played in the NBA, IIRC - it was a road game against the Seattle Supersonics and Slick Watts put a blanket on him, at least for that contest.

I stand corrected. He did play for the Nets for a short time. They offered his contract to the Knicks as part of some deal to reduce the fees the Nets had to pay to become part of the NBA in the same market but the Knicks turned it down and soon after Erving played for the Sixers.
