Another trade offer from Bleacher Report

Houston Rockets Receive: PF Julius Randle

New York Knicks Receive: PF Jabari Smith Jr., C Jock Landale, F Jeff Green, 2027 first-round pick (top-five protected)

If the Rockets want to make a big leap in the West standings next season, adding an All-Star power forward in the prime of his career could help.

Randle, 28, is a Texas native who would bring balance to this young Rockets team. He averaged 24.0 points, 9.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game last season and would slide into a Houston starting five that also features Fred VanVleet, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and Alperen Şengün.

Smith, 21, has All-Star potential, but Randle is better suited to lead the Rockets into the playoffs now.

For a Knicks team that still went 21-15 without Randle and reached the second round of the playoffs, this move is designed to increase future financial flexibility while staying in the title hunt now. Smith could start at power forward, or the Knicks could keep OG Anunoby at the four, allowing Josh Hart or Donte DiVincenzo to stay in the opening lineup as well.

Smith has two years remaining on his rookie deal, while Landale and Green are either in the final year of their contract or have a non-guaranteed salary for next season. That would save the Knicks a lot of potential money in 2025 with a Randle extension off the table.

Landale would also give the Knicks a backup center to Mitchell Robinson, a spot that both Smith and Green could eat up minutes at as well. The Knicks would pick up a future first-round selection as well, which is important after they gave up five in a deal for Mikal Bridges.

i’m gonna need sengun from houston if they want randle

[Chislic]

Houston
Steve Adams
Jabari Smith Jr.
2027 first-round pick (top-five protected)
Tari Eason (or AJ Griffin)

NY
Randle

This works out with under the new cap. (Spotrac) I like this a little better. Adams and Mitch will gobble up those offensive boards.

Randle is probably more tradable if locked in at a cheaper deal. (Towns, etc.) We'd also be more likely to keep him.

IF we can't come to an agreement on a new contract, we might be looking at deals like this in order to get something in return before loosing him.

trade is terrible for us, jabari isn’t ready to be a 2nd option on a contending team. şengün just might be

Deal.

Seriously though maybe the Knicks can just trade for Adams? He's making $12.5 million this season. They should be able to figure out something. Adams would perfect with Mitch (assuming he's recovered from his knee problem).

If the player doesn't consistently demand double teams, Leon isn't trading Randle for him

I like the idea of Adams too. Especially if we keep Mitch. Love the idea in being dominate on the offensive glass. SO many 2nd chance points! Adams also adds some toughness as well. We could use that.

Only way I would do this is if we send this package straight to Mil for Giannis with other picks we have left. If not, no thank ya.

[NoDopeOnSundays]

Adams hasn't played in almost 2 years.

[Fat]

Mitchell Robinson FT% 40.9 percent

That is all

[NoDopeOnSundays]

Mitchell Robinson FT% 40.9 percent

That is all

Gotta point out he's in steady decline too, his ft percentage has gone down every single season.


And even more troubling is that his FG% has been dropping the last 3 seasons, he's not jumping like he used to.
