Trade Value: KAT, Hart, OG and/or Bridges

[jbk1234]

Some Anunoby ideas:

OG to Cleveland for Jarrett Allen and Max Strus. This would be part of a larger roster reshuffle in CLE and they would need to find a way under the 2nd apron, as well as include additional salary to a third team in this deal. But in theory CLE gets an elite 3 and D wing to pair with Mitchell and Mobley going forward. NY gets a rim protector to pair with KAT and a more traditional SG, shifting Bridges back to his natural SF position. This also helps the bench putting Hart in a 6th man role. This also opens up about 3.6mm below the 2nd apron and fills an extra roster spot.

OG to Memphis for Desmond Bane. I’m not sure about a Bane/Brunson backcourt defensively, but Memphis has been connected to OG for a while and Bane would give NY a traditional SG who is more of a secondary shot creator. Also opens up $2.8mm below the 2nd apron.

OG to Dallas for PJ Washington, Daniel Gafford and Caleb Martin. Can’t say I love this but see the logic for NY turning OG into depth. Opens 1.5mm below the 2nd apron while also filling 2 extra roster spots. Feels like NY would need a pick here (LA 29)

Sacramento feels like it could be interesting. I can see the logic of a Anunoby/Murray front court pairing with Sabonis. Making the money work is a little challenging, but I think Sac can flip DeMar DeRozan. Valancunis plus a sign and trade guy can round out the trade, but from a Knicks perspective I’d love a guy like Malik Monk off the bench. NY would look to get the 2 FRP’s SAC got for Fox in the deal.

Does a 3 team trade with the Clipppers where they get DeRozan, SAC gets Anunoby and NY gets Monk, Derricks Jones Jr, SAS 2027 1st and MIN 2031 1st make sense? NY would add about 10mm in flexibility to keep the trade open and flip one or both of the picks to round out the roster.

Houston is the final team. This would be a backup option if they strike out elsewhere, but I can see the logic of adding shooting. Dillion Brooks + Jabari Smith + 1-2 picks? NY would need to have a third team lineup up to flip the assets for win now pieces.

I wouldn't trade for O.G. on his contract.

Monk/DDR/JV and picks…

Kings should be open to many angles in the OP. If NY wants to trade defenders, Doug Christie will be leaning on the GM.

Maybe a three team involving Suggs/Lakers picks to the Knicks, Reaves to the Magic, and OG to the Lakers?

I would love this as a Knicks fan. Get younger, cheaper and recoup some draft capital while moving Bridges back to his natural SF position.

But if your the Lakers, wouldn’t you take Suggs over OG and keep the pick to get a C?

I wasn't really able to gauge who has the most value of those three, especially with Suggs having another lost season. He's only had one healthy season in his career.

Claxton + Johnson for Towns? who says no

[Kalamazoo317]

OG to Detroit for Ausar Thompson and Tobias Harris (who is on an expiring). Gives you a younger version of OG with less offensive game (but cheaper and a lot of ceiling to explore) and future cap flexibility. Gives Detroit a more complete running mate to go with Cade right now in an East that's suddenly wide open if NY is blowing it up, Celtics and Sixers are down, and Milwaukee is trading Giannis.

The OG to Detroit thing is very interesting, but I’m not sure the Pistons would give up Ausar.

Maybe something like Tobias + Ron Holland + 2026 1st (unprotected) and 2028 1st (lotto protected for 2 years turning into 2 2nds). NY then flips Holland to Utah for Walker Kessler. Could also see NY taking Beef Stew over Tobias.

Would clear about $10mm below the apron. I would try to use that space to bring in Ochahi Abaji from Toronto.

Detroit runs out a lineup of:
Cade-Ivey-OG-Ausar-Duran

NY:
Brunson-Abaji-Bridges-Towns-Kessler
McBride-Hart-Harris-Robinson

I don't think the money works without Tobias in it and I can't see Detroit moving Beefstew. (Honestly I think we will/should just run it back, but I could see OG being a nice get for us).

I don't like their ball movement or depth. I don't know if either team does it or what picks involved but-

Bridges for Draymond and Podz

Exactly, and absurd to think Dallas would give up two key rotational guys and then also owe a pick. Not close. Dallas doesn't need OG with AD and hopefully Flagg

[NYG]

Chicago Bulls get:
Kyle Kuzma
Pacome Dadiet
Tyler Kolek
Pat Connaughton

Milwaukee Bucks get:
OG Anunoby
PJ Tucker
Ariel Huporti

New York Knicks get:
Bobby Portis
Jalen Smith
Ayo Dosunmu
Patrick Williams
2031 Unprotected Milwaukee Bucks First Round Draft Pick

[Kazuya10]

Bulls would offer Coby white, filler, 12 and a future unprotected 1st for Bridges

How is Colby White as a defender? I like the idea of adding a second shot creator next to Brunson, but the Knicks can’t afford another subpar defensive player on the roster.

The draft compensation is very attractive here - especially if it can be flipped for players who can contribute now ie Walker Kessler, ect.

Maybe we could flip #12 to Brooklyn and regain control of some of our future picks. Would Brooklyn send us our 29 + 31 picks back in exchange for #12?

He is not an above average defender by any means. But he wont actively hurt you on a consistent basis.

If J Smith is involved I'd like the future 1st to be top 10 protected.

Detroit get OG
Suns get KAT
Knicks get Durant, Ausar, Harris, Suns FRP

Detroit get OG

We would need to turn Harris into a center or 2

[NYG]

OG to Detroit for Tobias Harris plus (Assets A)
KAT to New Orleans for McCollum, Olynyk plus (Assets B)

Can McCollum, (Assets A) and (Assets B) = Giannis if he wanted to be traded to NY?

Robinson
Harris
Giannis
Bridges
Brunson

Deuce, Olynyk and Hart off the bench

Can you blame a guy for trying?

[NYG]

Bumping to consolidate the incoming trades haha

[NYG]

Hart, Dadiet, Tucker and Wizards 1st = what depth?

[SARGO127]

I’m keeping OG and probably Bridges. KAT, Hart - cya.

[Scoot McGroot]

Bumping to consolidate the incoming trades haha

Just feels like they need another guy that can truly set the table for others or distribute. Brunson and Towns are both GREAT players, and can get themselves a bucket almost whenever they want. But if they were tired, NY just bogged down too much this series versus Indiana. All the rest of the guards are some combo of 3 and/or D, which is great to have, but they just need another real PG or distributing wing to make things easier.

[NYG]

I’m keeping OG and probably Bridges. KAT, Hart - cya.

What are we even getting for KAT or Bridges?

I think it's converting Hart into depth using Dadiet and the Wiz pick that's the answer. Run it back otherwise with a short leash. We could be the best team in the East next year.

[brackdan70]

They just had their best season since 1998-99….they are going to run it back right?
