New York Knicks Receive: F Pascal Siakam
Toronto Raptors Receive: F Julius Randle, C/F Taj Gibson, 2023 First-Round Pick (NYK), 2025 First-Round Pick (NYK)

Whether this trade ended up working out for the Toronto Raptors, in the long run, would depend on whether Julius Randle could get his shooting form back.

If he shot with the potent accuracy that he did in 2020-21, this Raptors offense could actually run more smoothly with Randle in Siakam’s place. It’s fair to say that overall, Randle’s 2020-21 was as good as any season Siakam has ever had, if not better.

On the other hand, a repeat of his 2021-22 performance would make this trade questionable for the Raptors. Of course, Randle could also split the difference between the two years. In that event, this might be fair value.

After all, Siakam is the superior two-way player. That’s why the Raptors get two first-round picks in this deal. On the other hand, there’s a world where the Raptors are interested in a Randle-for-Siakam gamble, but they’d rather get some proven young players instead of picks.
