New York Knicks Receive: G Malcolm Brogdon
Toronto Raptors Receive: G Evan Fournier, F Obi Toppin, 2022 First-Round Pick (No. 6 – IND), 2023 First-Round Pick (Top 5 – NYK)
Indiana Pacers Receive: F Pascal Siakam
With this trade, the Toronto Raptors receive more of a traditional rebuilding package.
Obi Toppin fits with their ball-handling wing concept. At 24, he’s got a lot of upside. He started making strides toward the end of 2021-22. They’re also getting two first-round picks here, one of which has already been conveyed in the lottery.
Meanwhile, the Knicks get a much-needed floor general. The 2023 pick they’re sending out is top 5 protected in the event of a disaster, but it should convey. Malcolm Brogdon figures to make them a much better team in 2022-23.
Finally, the Pacers get Siakam. Between him, Haliburton, Turner, and some strong supporting players, they could easily get back in the Eastern Conference’s playoff picture following the acquisition.
