Why The New York Knicks Do The Deal
On the flip side, Barrett hasn’t been wildly productive in his NBA career so far. The Knicks likely expected more from their third overall pick.
That’s why he’s expendable if they’re landing Beal. In contrast to the Wizards, this is purely a win-now move for the Knicks. It should make them a pretty dangerous team.
In fact, they already are. The Knicks are built around the collective playmaking abilities of Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson. That duo has proven to be the bedrock of a solid offense this year.
Imagine throwing Beal into that mix. His off-ball prowess is fantastic, and he can create his own looks as well. All told, they’d be a trio that could carry the Knicks next season.
