Valuation Each player's value in terms of late first round picks.

• Bamba - 1 to 1.5 late FRP

• #21 - 1.5 late FRP

• #32 - 0.5 late FRP

• Knox - neutral to 0.5 late FRP

ORL Orlando appears to prefer Carter Jr over Bamba and also has their eyes on Alperun Sengun (PF/C). With Isaac fully recovered and commanding the 4 spot, Bamba appears to have limited playing time yet again on the depth chart. Considering he is a restricted free agent one year from now, ORL may decide to trade him for the #21 pick.

NYK Knox did not crack Thib's rotation last year and is unlikely to do so on a win now team. The Knicks are unlikely to give two rookies playing time so they use pick 21 to acquire Noel's replacement. Bamba provides a different look off the bench as a stretch 5.
