It's a good question.
Probably the most important one.
I see 5 scenarios to be honest:
1. Knicks make the playoffs, Clippers are a mess, and Kawhi signs this summer
2. Zion signs as a free agent in 2025 or 2026 via player option
3. Knicks miss the playoffs,
finally get some lottery luck and draft Cade or Suggs (or whomever)
4. Knicks package their assets and trade for Lavine, and he reaches yet another level
5. Knicks trade Randle to the Warriors or Timberwolves for a top 4 pick.
I don't know if there's any other avenue tbh.
1. Lol
2. Yeah I’m sure Zion is watching this and thinking damn I wish I could lead the league in minutes and have a career ending injury
3. Lol
4. The bulls are making win now moves, they just traded 2 firsts for Vucevic, they aren’t trading lavine for picks
5. Whoever they take top 4 Thibs will just DNP them or play them 10 mins a game and our scouts suck
Thibs isn’t here to develop. if we win the lottery they’ll probably try to package that lotto pick with other picks to trade for an established star. Idk who though.
if we landed a top 4 pick, I highly doubt they'd trade it
1) the top of this draft is considered one of the best in recent years
2) Knicks have shown restraint thus far
3) who's even available?
