As a Knicks fan, I have mixed feelings about the KAT trade. Don't love what it does for their defense and depth. And I think Cleveland and Orlando still have issues with their lineups. Allen/Mobley and Garland/Mitchell fits are problematic. KCP is a nice player but Suggs is not really a point guard.

This trade solves a lot of problems for everyone. The Knicks get a true rim protector/rim runner in Allen, plus Powell to give them depth/spacing.

Brunson - Powell - Bridges - OG - Allen (Hart goes back to the bench)

Cavs get a much more balanced lineup with a perfect pairing up front with Mobley in KAT (I don't care if who you call a 4 or 5). Mitchell moves to the point and KCP helps with guard defense. Plus some needed positional depth in Dunn (they don't really have a backup PG) and Bamba (they are thin at center), and a pick since they are so depleted.

Mitchell - KCP - Strus - Mobley - KAT

Orlando fixes its point guard problem. They have enough defense to cover for Garland at other spots. If Black develops they can trade him or Anthony down the road.

Garland - Suggs - Wagner - Banchero - Carter

Clippers get a first for Powell and some other spare parts. They can probably re-trade Levert for something.
