New York Knicks receive: Talen Horton-Tucker, Kendrick Nunn

Los Angeles Lakers receive: Derrick Rose

This would be the most straightforward path to landing Derrick Rose on the Los Angeles Lakers. It’s uncertain whether the New York Knicks would want to take it.

Talen Horton-Tucker had a disappointing 2021-22 season. His 26.9% accuracy from three-point range limited his effectiveness in all facets of offense. At 21, he still holds potential as a wing with a uniquely long wingspan. A rebuilding team should be interested in him.

Are the Knicks a rebuilding team? It’s difficult to say. They made the playoffs in 2020-21, only to regress dramatically last season. If they opted to move on from Julius Randle and start over, it wouldn’t shock anyone.

At the same time, they could opt to retool. Selling their fanbase on a long-term rebuild after making the playoffs once in the last nine seasons would be difficult. They could prefer to view last season as a blip on their radar.
