Why The New York Knicks Do The Deal
The Knicks are in an interesting position. That’s not exactly the same as saying they’re in a good one.
After all, this team has lost five straight games. It’s clear that the Knicks are not going to be contending for the championship this season.
Realistically, that’s fine. The Knicks have one of the best collections of draft capital in the NBA – they’re set up for the future. This deal would make that especially true.
In fact, this draft capital from the Lakers would amount to some of their most valuable assets. If the Knicks are looking to make a trade for a star, these picks would certainly help them do so.
