This trade is for fun as a part of a trade challenge. Since there are already too many good looking Spida to Knicks trades with Grimes, Obi and IQ, I'm trying a different approach. Here the idea is mainly if the Jazz don't want any of those young players as main assets, and would rather grab as much first-round picks as possible. While for the Knicks, they mantain those 3 young guards on their roster, filling their rotation and giving some hope as possibles ceilling-risers for their future. Ainge can use Knicks' desire to keep those guys as leverage, just as he used in McDaniels' case in the Gobert trade with MIN.

McBride is a nice second-round prospect but wouldn't have a place with Spida/Brunson/DRose/IQ there. Reddish expiring would be a problem for the Knicks CAP situation for the future; and with Spida and Brunson in town, RJ would definetely spend most of his PT at the SF spot. Both would be decent project for Utah's rebuild, with Reddish possibly staying in a bigger role or getting flipped. Here the Jazz get a haul of picks:

  1. Knicks' 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029 unprotected first-round picks;

  2. Dallas' 2023 first-round pick (protected top 10 in 2023-25, else 2025 second round pick) - probably conveys in 2023;

  3. Pistons' 2023 first-round pick (protected top 18 in 2023-24, top 13 in 2025, top 11 in 2026, top 9 in 2027, else 2027 second round pick) - probably conveys in 2025;

  4. Wizards' 2023 first-round pick (first round pick protected top 14 in 2023, top 12 in 2024, top 10 in 2025, top 8 in 2026, else 2026 second round pick, 2027 second round pick) - Wizards are impossible to predict, still at worst conveys in 2026; and

  5. Bucks' 2025 first-round pick (protected top 4) - conveys 100%.
