New York Knicks Receive: F Kenrich Williams
Oklahoma City Thunder Receive: F Kevin Knox II, 2022 Second Round Pick, 2023 Second Round Pick (via UTA)
The nature of this hypothetical NBA trade scenario would be a straightforward one with just one player being involved from each team.
The New York Knicks would move on from Kevin Knox II, who was the ninth overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. he has been unable to make an impact since entering the league, but at just 22-years-old, a rebuilding team like the Oklahoma City Thunder should take a flier.
Kenrich Williams is a ‘lower ceiling’ option as a player since he is solid in a variety of key areas, but that’s all the Knicks need in the midst of a season where they hope to contend.
A complementary option that makes a consistent impact is what Williams brings to the table. For a rebuilding team like the Thunder, going for the higher upside is more beneficial.
