First off, the Grizz get two assets worth 4-6 combined 1sts (bridges and Knecht) plus two swaps and another first destined to become 2 seconds. They can either resign the super versatile bridges or trade him and picks for a star. He won’t cost what JJJ will to resign.
Lakers need a big man and lakers fans have been wanting Robinson. They get him without losing any picks. Huge win for them.
Knicks pay a premium to get JJJ, using Robinson to land a sweetener for the grizzlies in Knecht, while getting rotation depth in Vandy. Shrewd Free agent signings bring this one home for the Knicks with Jabari Walker, Malcom Brogdan, and Al Horford. The Horford Deal is a no brainer that makes use of the taxpayer MLE. Walker looks to increase his value for next year by taking the much needed wing depth position next to Hart And Vandy. Brogdan takes this deal just to get out of Washington and chase a ring. like walker he can make more next year following a good year with us.
Knicks Depth. PG Brunson/Brogdan/Kolek (Delon Wright is a fallback is Brogdan wants more, moving Kolek into Backup spot) SG McBride/Hart/Dadiet (super versatile position here; Dadiet needs to grow this year) SF Anunoby/Walker/McCullar (walker protects OG and eats minutes all year, Shamet is a fallback; McCullar has potential) PF JJJ/Vanderbilt/50th pick this year (this position becomes a defensive strength no matter who we play here) C KAT/Horford/Hukporti (Horford is the most Important move after JJJ trade; Hukporti becomes vital if Horford Declines MLE
This is clearly a very Knicks centric trade, but the goal was to not fleece any other team. All FA signings are meant to be reasonable. (no Lebron on a minimum nonsense). This is also meant to reflect the entire summer for the Knicks. It puts us against the 2nd apron without crossing it. What do you think Knicks nation?
