Hypothetical: NYK and PHX both falls early in PO, KD ask out (again?)

New York trade: Randle, Bogdanovic, NYK 24/26/28 1sts, MIL 2025 1st
New York receive: KD

Phoenix trade: KD
Phoenix receive: Randle, Bogdanovic, NYK 24/26/28 1sts, MIL 2025 1st

Why for New York: All in on a star upgrade
Why for Phoenix: recoup some assets while staying competitive w/ an all star forward

Hartenstein
KD
OG
Hart
Brunson

Nurkic
Randle
O'Neale
Booker
Beal

Do the picks have to be later for higher variance? is KD worth more/less than this?

Yes, I posted something similar before and I like it...I think a 3 team is needed to redirect to bojan/Little/Rody + the selections to complete the team..Who would those objectives be? winning role players (DFS/Caruso etc. )..Maybe a D.Murray guy? or someone like Kuzma...?

KD worth more.

Swap Bogdanovic with Anunoby and it gets closer.

Trade2..
Bojan+FRP to BULLS
Little+Carter+Rody +FRP(lot prot)to PISTONS
Caruso+I.Stewart to SUNS

Nurk/Stewart
Randle
Caruso/Royce
Beal/Allen
Booker

I think the value is right if Phoenix if they’re shopping KD. Vets and 4 firsts.

I don’t hate the trade for either side. Brunson is really great. KD/OG on the wings would be fun. Not sure KD wants to go back to NY though? I’ve seen it a few teams, just don’t think it happens.

Phoenix would be looking to trade the firsts for win now talent, but trades don’t have to be all inclusive..

I’d maybe the value should be.. the odd year NYK picks, and 26/28 swaps. But maybe it’s good enough.

I agree. Also think that OKC is the main place for a KD trade.

This isn't bad though and would likely be more or less what I'd expect from the Knicks. I don't think we could get OG in addition to those picks and Randle. Think I'd rather get Hart back though. His dirty work and rebounding would be of use more than another scorer.

This trade hardcaps the Knicks at the 2nd Apron, might be OK but need to fit OG and IHart under the 2nd Apron.
I think 28 1st should be replaced with WAS + DET 1st, more 1sts, but lesser quality, this 1sts could be used to trade salaries for rotation players.
KD would be 2 years removed from his initial trade and has lost some value.

Bit hard for that suns don’t have any picks for swapping. Wow!
