So this is an odd one but the list of targets for the Knicks seems to have been growing smaller. The Knicks have looked solid the last couple of games without Randle but that was against the Hornets and the Jazz. I've loved the way the team has come together but they have a real chance of getting the 3 seed or end the 2 seed with the 76ers faltering (and Embiid's injury) as well as the recent struggles of the Bucks.

Knicks: The Knicks need some help in the frontcourt as well as someone who won't cost a lot. Wiggins has had a really rough year and his value is way down. The Knicks are taking a bit of a risk but at the same time, they're not asking him to do all the things the Warriors need him to do. He won't need to carry a heavy offensive load with Brunson, DDV and OG lighting it up. Plus we've seen some great contributions from Deuce and Grimes lately. The Knicks need his size, his defense and his willingness to do the dirty work. The tricky part is that he might be tougher to flip come the offseason, but if he plays decently, he can rehab his value and help the Knicks now. Plus the Knicks only give up a low value FRP and get to keep Grimes.

Warriors: The Warriors need some solid contributions on offense and some cap relief next year. Bogdanovic is a great 3 point shooter and is a veteran who can pretty much slot into any offense. The main concern would be his defense but on the flip side, they're not giving up a ton of picks, are still keeping promising young players like Podziemski and Jackson-Davis and are holding onto their FRPs. They could still flip Chris Paul for someone to try and make a run this year. Losing Moody isn't ideal but it just doesn't seem like he's going to get a true shot on this team.

Pistons: The Pistons have had a truly terrible season and are definitely sellers. There is talk about buying low on LaVine but it makes more sense to keep gathering players and stand pat. They'll have a ton of room in free agency and this doesn't change that since Fournier is on an expiring contract and could fill mostly the same role as Bogdanovic for this season. They don't get as many draft picks as they'd like but they get their own 2024 pick back which gives them more flexibility down the line since they wouldn't have to worry about the protections restricting any of their future picks. They also get a young wing in Moody to add to the group of young players they're developing.
