New York Knicks Receive: Eric Bledsoe

New Orleans Pelicans Receive: Kevin Knox II, 2021 1st Round Pick (via DAL), 2021 2nd Round Pick (via CHA)

Elfrid Payton and Immanuel Quickley have been manning the point guard position for the Knicks. It’s safe to say that New York could use an upgrade in this area. Combined, they are averaging 6.3 assists per game.

Quickley has looked promising as a rookie but is playing just over 18 minutes per night. Bledsoe would be able to come in and start right away for New York.

In return, the Knicks have draft capital to send back from other deals. They have picks saved up from the deal that sent Kristaps Porzingis to the Dallas Mavericks. Kevin Knox would also be on his way to New Orleans. This could be the change of scenery needed for Knox.

Let’s take a closer look and see how this trade would impact both teams immediately.
