New York Knicks Receive: DeMar DeRozan, Trey Lyles
San Antonio Spurs Receive: Julius Randle, Frank Ntilikina, 2021 1st Round Pick (via DAL)
DeMar DeRozan to the New York Knicks would bring another dynamic to the team. They would also be able to acquire a big man in Trey Lyles who would benefit from a chance of scenery and an extended role. New York has plenty of assets to send away if they make a deal.
Julius Randle is the first piece. This is dependent on what the front office wants to do with him moving forward. Frank Ntilikina, like Lyles, needs a change of scenery and the Spurs are a great franchise to go to.
Also, the Knicks have some NBA Draft capital stashed away for a rainy day. The first-round picks the Dallas Mavericks will be sending New York from the Kristaps Porzingis trade simply will not be valuable unless unforeseen circumstances were to occur.
Let’s take a closer look and see how this deal centered around DeMar DeRozan will help both the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs.
