Dallas fans would love Randle on their team but not if it means giving up both Washington and Gafford. They also don’t have enough draft capital to make this work without Knicks picking up the slack there. So they get Randle to complete starting lineup, only giving up bench pieces. They give us Grimes back. We send extra draft capital to TB to make it work.

Blazers move off Ayton for Gafford, picks and expiring contracts. Not a win now move but this isn’t a win now team.

Knicks lock up center position and commit to playing 3 wings at all times. With Bridges, McBride, Divincenzo, Hart, Anunoby, Grimes, Bates-Diop, they can always have 3 on the floor, always have either Ayton or Robinson at the 5, and use Kolek and McBride to back up Brunson for 10-15 minutes. That’s a championship squad
