Why The New York Knicks Do The Deal
That wasn’t a rhetorical question. It has a clear, concrete answer. No. There is no “too much” to give up for Kevin Durant.
A look at the Knicks’ roster following this deal doesn’t necessarily inspire visions of title contention. A group featuring Durant, Julius Randle, and Jalen Brunson will be good, but they probably won’t win the NBA championship.
That’s fine. The Knicks still have the ammunition to make more deals. Following this trade, they’d be forced to go all-in. Package Randle’s contract with three more picks. See what you can land from a rebuilding club for Cam Reddish and a first or two.
The Knicks can’t let up in the face of this deal. They need to stay on the phones relentlessly. If they can continue building, they may be able to accomplish something that they haven’t in a very long time: Winning an NBA championship.
