New Orleans isn’t going to turn it around this year. So if somehow the team starts unloading players, Herbert will be at the top of everyone’s wish list. The team is of course far more inclined to trade Ingram, McCollum or even Zion than Herbert, so a lot of chips would need to fall here. The Knicks could move Herbert into the starting SF position to create the best defensive wing duo since Jordan/Pippen. Hart Becomes the 6th man off the Bench. Brunson/Bridges/Jones/Anunoby/Towns with Payne/Hart/Mitch is just flat out nasty.
This trade would only happen if one of the aforementioned players were to be traded first. Then 7 cheap picks, McBride, Dadiet,Achiuwa and Sims for one role player is a much better deal.
