If I'm the Knicks the only thing off limits is RJ Barrett. The Knicks look like they finally have a home grown piece that can be a multi time all-star, no need to give that up for a guy on the wrong side of 30. The goal would be in add Lillard to create a Big 3 with Barrett and Randle.

As much as I would love to keep Quickly out of the trade, he's a piece that is replaceable.

So basically the Knicks can offer some combination of Robinson, Toppin, Quickly, Knox and 6 1st Rd Picks (4 NYK, 2 DAL) and 3 pick swaps.

There is plenty of ammunition to do a quantity trade (similar to the Melo and Harden trades). Any trade involving Barrett is counter productive IMO.

Prob this...Lollards would take a overpay for Portland to consider and NY doesn’t have that first option type prospect to get them to the table. Barrett would prob have to prob take even another decent step.
