LA Clippers Receive: G Kemba Walker
New York Knicks Receive: G Eric Bledsoe

The New York Knicks would be moving on from two players who have fallen out of favor with coach Tom Thibodeau while giving a new point guard a chance in Eric Bledsoe.

Kemba Walker is also signed through the 2022-23 season and will earn $9.1 million fully guaranteed in the final year of his deal.
