THIS TRADE SHOULD ONLY BE CONSIDERED IF JULIUS RANDLE DOES NOT SIGN AN EXTENSION WITH THE KNICKS THIS 2024 OFFSEASON
Hornets acquire a 3-time All Star, 2-time All NBA player to pair alongside Lamelo Ball. Julius Randle will help the Hornets become a competitive team in the East.
Hornets Starters: Ball, Miller, Bridges, Randle, Williams
Hornets Bench: Micic, Mann, Green, Salaun, Gibson
Knicks receive Grant Williams and Nick Richards who will be great rotation pieces for a championship contender. Cody Martin can be a solid situational wing.
They also receive an unprotected ‘29 CHA 1st, a ‘27 MIA 1st (lottery protected in ‘27, unprotected in ‘28), and a ‘25 PHI 2nd.
Knicks Starters: Brunson, DiVincenzo, Bridges, Anunoby, Robinson
Knicks Bench: McBride, Hart, Williams, Richards
Knicks and Hornets fans, is this a fair and realistic trade for both sides?
