Boston Celtics Receive: Julius Randle

New York Knicks Receive: Romeo Langford, Grant Williams, 2021 1st Round Pick, 2022 2nd Round Pick (via CHA)

The Boston Celtics signed Tristian Thompson this offseason and he has played in eight games this season. The Celtics could use another player in the frontcourt to help them accomplish their goal of winning an NBA championship.

The New York Knicks have plenty of trade assets to send Boston, if necessary, but this deal would not be too expensive. It would be an ideal opportunity to strike on Julius Randle’s recent hot play to clear more opportunity for Obi Toppin.

Romeo Langford is an intriguing prospect that would continue the rebuild in New York. Grant Williams and NBA Draft capital would also be sent away. The Knicks have some first-round picks built up from other deals involving Kristaps Porzingis and Marcus Morris. This would give them even more.

Let’s break this down even further and see how the deal centered around Julius Randle would benefit both the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks.
