New York Knicks Receive: F/C Jonathan Isaac
Orlando Magic Receive: G Derrick Rose, 2023 First-Round Pick (DAL via NYK)

Jonathan Isaac’s NBA career has been a rollercoaster. Realistically, it’s been a rollercoaster that only gradually descends.

That doesn’t mean there can’t be thrills ahead. When healthy, Isaac has looked like a one-man defensive system. If he can get his body right, look for him to challenge for multiple Defensive Player of the Year awards throughout his career.

This trade has the New York Knicks gambling on his good health. Meanwhile, it has the Orlando Magic cutting their losses. They’re not really interested in Rose here – they’re involved in this deal for the sake of the first-round pick.

After all, the Magic roster a plethora of young point guards between Cole Anthony, Jalen Suggs, and Markelle Fultz. With that said, Rose could be a valuable mentor for this team. Furthermore, he could be a valuable trade chip leading up to the 2022-23 deadline.
