Why The New York Knicks Do The Deal 

The Knicks have been surprisingly competitive this season. With that in mind, they may not need a franchise-altering talent like Mitchell. 

After all, Jalen Brunson looks the part of a true star. Julius Randle has regained his form as well. This team may be a lower-level star away from title contention. 

That lower-level star may be Poole. This is a dynamic offensive guard who can create his own basket out of thin air. He’ll make the Knicks more difficult to guard. 

Meanwhile, Fournier isn’t a significant part of this team.

Losing Toppin stings, but he’s been afforded few opportunities buried behind Randle in the team’s rotation anyway. 

Should the Warriors see if they can unlock him?
