New York Knicks Receive: DeMar DeRozan
San Antonio Spurs Receive: Julius Randle, Frank Ntilikina, 2021 1st Round Pick (via LAC), 2021 2nd Round Pick (via CHA), 2023 2nd Round Pick (via UTA)
DeMar DeRozan would be on his way to New York in this deal. He would attempt to turn the franchise around along with players like R.J. Barrett and Mitchell Robinson. This is something that New York needs in the worst way. DeRozan would not be cheap, but the Knicks have assets they could send to San Antonio in this deal.
Julius Randle signed a three-year deal with the Knicks last offseason but he is the team’s biggest trade piece. Frank Ntilikina is another young player who would be sent away in this deal. The Knicks also have draft capital to send away from other deals involving Kristaps Porzingis and Marcus Morris.
This is a deal that would benefit both sides in the near future. Let’s break this down even further and see how it would benefit each side or the 2020-2021 season.
