BK to NJ, but always a New York Knicka
I'm impressed that no one has an actual angle on what the Knicks may do in the draft. Imma take a wild guess though and say that if Lamelo drops to 3, then the Knicks are gonna try to trade up for him.
Given the rumors, tried this out in the trade machine and it went through -
Charlotte receives Russ
Knicks receive Batum
Houston receives Randle, DSJ, Rozier
Add in picks and....
Knicks get Melo and 2 years of vet tutelage for Frank and RJ at a pricey premium for the cost of #27, #38 and a pick swap for #8 while DSJ and Randle kick rocks
Hornets get Russ, trade down 5 spots to get Okungwu, get their 38th pick back and frees themselves of Batum
Rockets get young pieces on shorter contracts for Russ and a coveted 1st rounder
I think all 3 walk away with a need filled.
