Why the Trade Benefits the New York Knicks
Some will not be happy about this trade and some will. That is how it goes with the New York Knicks. This deal would get them an explosive point guard and that is hard to argue against.
This might not be a deal that gets them to a championship but it brings excitement and a player to watch. The Knicks are at a point where they just need to bring in good players. They did this with Toppin to team up with R.J. Barrett and Mitchell Robinson.
Tom Thibodeau is the head coach which should go a long way in changing the culture. Russell Westbrook is another player who would help turn the team into a competitive one.
Any fan of the Knicks should be rooting for a trade for a big name player. Westbrook has been linked to the Knicks before and this is the year that it could finally happen.
