Successful trade!

Knicks:
PG Brunson/Westbrook/McBride
SG Grimes/IQ
SF Svi???
PF Anthony Davis/Obi
C Mitch/IHart

Would be clunky for awhile but you could move Mitch/IHart in Jan for a wing to help balance and get AD time at center with Obi at the 4 and a better 3

You would include Randle? I'm shocked!

I remember looking forward to Mitch/Noel anchoring the first and second units defensively. They didnt play that many games together because one or the other was hurt. Mostly Noel, but we would be adding a starting big who has been just as reliable as Noel.

The lineup has its appeal, but I believe we can get more for RJ and Rose seperately (if necessary). RJ's game is slowly coming around. And a playoff team who loses a rotation player, needs someone with Rose's skill set and experience. Might make the FO a competitive offer.

I would do this trade so fast and then tell AD to take the rest of the years off to go plan the draft lottery party.

Dont want to see AD play his way into a new deal. Would rather stick with Randle. If the FO is going to trade RJ nd Randle, I hope its for more than cap room. Believe that would be a step back. We've had cap room going back to the previous regime. Its not a given that all of a sudden elite players are going to be interested. Unless we sign Harden or Kyrie. Better chance of trading for players in their prime, or entering their prime.

Knicks cap would be at around $100M going into next year?

I’d want to keep the 2 2023 picks but I’d be up for trading 2-3 firsts.
