This is an offshoot of my previous 2 team trade between the Knicks and the Bulls. The Bulls get less young players but get a FRP in return. Going straight to the team by team breakdown:

Knicks: The Knicks bench has been dissapointing this season but this would completely reshape it. Dragic is more here for salary and replaces the departing Rose. Josh Hart is a solid backup SG/SF who also has the Villanova connection with Brunson and Arcidiacono so he'd fit right in with this team. And Vucevic has been having a (very) down year but would be a great backup to Robinson and would give the Knicks a different look on offense. They send out one of their FRPs to do so.

Blazers: The Blazers starting lineup looks fairly solid but the bench is once again a problem. They get a much better backup center than they have and one who's younger as well in Hartenstein. He's also on a team friendly contract. They also get to take a chance on Reddish and hope he can grow like Simons and Sharpe have.

Bulls: The Bulls need to face facts and recognize that this season is definitely a wash. Their top priority now is getting assets, whether in the form of young players or draft picks. Rose is mainly here for salary reasons but is also a nice story. They get a FRP from the Knicks and a couple of young players from the Blazers.
