NBA Analysis Network

In the NBA world, fans and media are always talking about who is going to be the next star to ask for a trade. Recently, one of the main names brought up is Dallas Mavericks All-Star Luka Doncic.

Since acquiring Doncic on draft night 2018, the Mavericks have failed to put a proper supporting cast around him. They’ve rolled the dice on players they shouldn’t of and let winning players like Jalen Brunson walk out the door for nothing.

This season, the Mavericks tried to rectify their mistakes by going all in on Kyrie Irving. This ended up backfiring as Dallas failed to secure a spot in the postseason.

The people over at CBS Sports decided to rank every team in the NBA in terms of their ability to trade for Doncic. Among the favorites was the New York Knicks.

“Picks are something the Knicks have in abundance. They’ll be able to offer seven unprotected picks and four swaps to Dallas in a Doncic deal, but perhaps more importantly, they have one of the few players likely to make an effective recruiting pitch to Doncic in Jalen Brunson.”

Along with having the assets to get a deal done, New York finally appears ready to make a big splash. They will have more than enough trade assets to work in the event they want to make that type of move.
