I believe that the Knicks will take Russ contract for a year if it meant the Lakers helping them acquire Zion. Pels get basically 4 frp for Zion and a plethora of young players. Lakers get shooters and wings and Randle for Russ tht and monk.
Getting the Knicks Zion without trading IQ Obi or RJ and getting the Lakers off Russ contracg
