New York Knicks Receive: C Dwight Powell, G/F Frank Ntilikina, 2025 First-Round Pick (Lottery Protected – DAL)
Dallas Mavericks Receive: G Derrick Rose

This deal would have Frank Ntilikina on his second tour of duty with the Knicks. Fans in Madison Square Garden are unlikely to complain.

In fact, Ntilikina was something of a fan favorite during his days in the Garden. His offensive game was as woefully undercooked as it is today.

By now, it seems safe to conclude that he’ll never be a big-time scorer or playmaker.

What Ntilikina does bring is energy and effort. He’s a strong defensive player, capable of locking down guards in addition to some wings. He plays with the type of grit that’s always suited New York City.

Of course, the Knicks aren’t making this deal to land Ntilikina. He’s a fun subplot in this story. As we mentioned, the Knicks are after draft capital and cap space here.
