New York Knicks Receive: LaMarcus Aldridge, DeMar DeRozan
San Antonio Spurs Receive: Julius Randle, Dennis Smith Jr., Kevin Knox II, 2021 2nd Round Pick (via DET), 2021 2nd Round Pick (via CHA)
The big story here would be DeRozan and Aldridge going to the New York Knicks. The San Antonio Spurs are one of the best franchises in the NBA so they would not be swindled in a deal. The return for these two players would likely be large but the Knicks have some options.
Julius Randle is the biggest name going to the Spurs. Randle is coming off the best season of his career and could be valuable for a team looking to content. Dennis smith Jr. and Kevin Knox need a change of scenery and could develop in San Antonio under Greg Popovich.
Let’s take a look and see how they steal would benefit each team in the immediate future.
