New York Knicks Receive: Eric Bledsoe

New Orleans Pelicans Receive: Julius Randle, 2021 1st Round Pick (via DET), 2021 2nd Round Pick (via CHA)

Eric Bledsoe could be the leader on the court that the New York Knicks are looking for. They have some pieces for the future but none are complete players as of now. Bledsoe would act as a coach on the floor to help the offense run smoothly. New York has assets in the form of players and draft capital to send away in a deal if necessary.

Julius Randle is one of the biggest names on the Knicks. He has taken his offensive game to the next level but is not a part of the Knicks’ long-term plan. He was signed to a three-year deal last offseason, which makes him easy to move given the fact that he has another year of control.

Let’s take a closer look and see how this deal would help each side moving forward.
