This cat the new plug, he gets the drop on a lot of nba news

Additional buzz heading into the draft and free agency:
The Thunder may be the first domino with up to $31.8 million in cap space. The team is open to taking on unwanted salary for draft compensation before its room disappears on July 1 when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's extension kicks in.
The Knicks looking to hire Rick Brunson, per Ian Begley of SNY, isn't a coincidence. His son, Dallas Mavericks free-agent Jalen Brunson, may be next. While New York won't have the cap room, multiple sources believe Dallas may blink at Brunson's asking price, compelled to sign and trade him to the Knicks.
Competing teams are very curious how the Brooklyn Nets deal with Kyrie Irving, the Philadelphia 76ers with James Harden and the Washington Wizards with Bradley Beal. All three have player options but could opt out and re-sign or walk outright as free agents.
The Suns are apparently hoping Dario Saric returns to form after a knee injury and may not be looking to dump his $9.2 million remaining in trade.
The Hawks may waive Danilo Gallinari, whose $21.5 million contract is only $5 million guaranteed. Similarly, the Trail Blazers may cut Eric Bledsoe's $19.4 million with a $3.9 million guarantee. Either could end up in a trade, though the returns for Atlanta and Portland would be based on the guaranteed portion, not the full salaries.
After hiring Kenny Atkinson, the Hornets may hold onto Gordon Hayward. Several sources believe the Pacers will keep Turner. Pencil in Chris Boucher to return to the Raptors.
The Cavaliers may look to restock their backcourt with a healthy Collin Sexton and Ricky Rubio, who they traded to the Pacers at the deadline.
The Pistons are expected to retain Marvin Bagley III. The team may make a run at a restricted free agent like Miles Bridges or Ayton, either by offer sheet or sign-and-trade.
Many believe D'Angelo Russell is available out of Minnesota.

There's a better chance of seeing a lineup of

Smooth sailing from here on out...
Still wouldn't be possible because the sign & trade option would hard cap them

When you look around the league at what other teams got in return for lesser talented players, it’s not a bad asking price at all.

Yeah I think something like Collins, Huerter, and 16, are a reasonable asking price for Rudy. Really it should be higher since he is going to shine a lot more in some other teams system instead of Utah's Donavan 30 for 30 Mitchell only passes it to him twice a game offense
Utah should take this deal
So we will either get Brunson or Malcolm Brogdon. Add in Mo bamba to replace the loss of Mitch and our first overall draft pick this is not a bad off-season by the Knicks.
If Cleveland can re-sign Rubio again (as they should) right after trading him, couldn't Phoenix theoretically do the same with Jalen Smith?
