Why The New York Knicks Do The Deal
Frankly, this does get a little messy for New York.
After all, they’ve already got Julius Randle at the 4. They could move Siakam to the 5, but Mitchell Robinson has been great at that position. What should they do?
Take the deal and sort it out later. Perhaps the Knicks could move Siakam to the 3 and play jumbo ball. Alternatively, they could trade one of Robinson or Randle.
