With the Mikal Bridges trade it seems like Randle days in New York might be over with hartenstein and O.G both being free agents as well it looks like New York will be able to only bring back one of them which is why in this trade the Knicks trade Randle to Memphis for Kennard, Clarke, Williams and a top 8 protected 2028 1st round pick. Grizzlies are coming off a season full of injuries, but I expect them to have a healthy season and potentially be the Timberwolves of next season and make a run to the conference finals which is why I see them potentially making a play for a all star in Randle. Knicks add some depth even know thibs makes the starters play like the whole game, but in the playoffs we saw that injuries cost them
Now if the Knicks decide to bring OG back instead of Hartenstein their new lineup would look like this
Starters: PG: Brunson SG: OG SF: Hart PF: Bridges C: Robinson Bench: Donte McBride Kennard Williams Clarke
One of the smaller starting 5 but overall the lineup ain’t bad
However if they bring Hartenstein back instead of OG their lineup would look like this
Starters: PG: Brunson SG: Donte SF: Hart PF: Bridges C: Hartenstein Bench: Robinson McBride Kennard Williams Clarke
For Memphis their lineup could look like this
Starters: PG: Morant SG: Bane SF: Jackson PF: Randle C: Jackson Jr. Bench: Smart Williams Jr. Konchar LaRavia Aldama
Or
Starters: PG: Morant SG: Smart SF: Bane PF: Randle C: Jackson Jr. Bench: Jackson Williams Jr. Konchar LaRavia Aldama
