Why The New York Knicks Do The Deal

Let’s be honest – the Knicks won’t offer Kuzma a quick path to contention. 

In fact, this team has been in a similar position to the Wizards in recent years. On the other hand, there is one key difference between these two clubs: the Knicks have an impressive collection of daft capital. 

In time, they’re expected to use it on a star player. Of course, that makes this deal a little problematic for the Knicks. Doesn’t giving up a pick run counter to their game plan? 

A little. At the same time, this pick is lottery protected. It’s not the type of asset that will make or break a deal. Meanwhile, in this age of player empowerment, teams typically don’t trade for a player unless they’re open to joining them.
