If Knicks want to improve with Randle on the team. They desperately need a Center that's Myles Turner. 3/D stretch big, that can hit the 3 and keep the paint open for Randle to work. Brunson handling the ball, Brown, Turner playing off ball and feeding Randle in the post. This would have the Knicks playing their best basketball ever with this lineuop. Also having a nice young Superstar in Brown doesn't hurt either. He has some ways to go yet, but I believe Brown is the perfect swap for Barrett and the Celtics as well. As for the Knicks getting TJ McConnell in this deal is also another huge win imo. TJ doesn't get the credit he deserves, he's an excellent PG. Who can control the tempo, always gets to his spots and hits teammates in their's. His timing is always perfect and he plays hard on both ends. He has a knack for coming away with steals and getting after the ball. I actually compared him to Alex Caruso yesterday because someone mentioned Alex. Their styles are a little different, TJ is a more true point guard. While he can shoot it and get into the lane and score. He also has a higher steals rating than Caruso (2.6) to TJ's (2.8), not a big difference. Yet still surprising, his hustle, effort, and 2-way play make him the perfect PG to come in for Brunson. TJ also had a higher D/O win shares, VORP over Caruso and more assists a game. Similar in rebounds.

Celtics won't be able to retain Brown in FA most likely. Especially after all the trade rumors and Brown may already be looking for a bigger role/payday. The Celtics can save money and continue to develop the young Star in RJ Barrett, at a much cheaper price. While they can save some money and look to make a playoff run for a championship. They can add Buddy Hield in this multi-team deal. That would add to the much needed reliable 3pt shooting the Celtics needed so badly in the playoffs. They'd become an even deeper team and absolutely lethal off the bench. Along with their many combination lineups, other team's won't be able to match. Celtics would basically keep the scoring numbers of Brown and add another 15+ in Heild. Right now they're almost solely a defensive team, they need that constant bucket threat and Heild leads the league in 3pt makes, with at and above 40% a clip.

Pacers are simply looking to rebuild. They trade Turner here for the value of the picks and for the need/interest of the NYK's needing Turner to bring out the best of their Star Randle. Pacers get a nice valued 1st, a couple good young player's in Toppin and Reddish. The very two positions the Pacers have been short of having. While they get another 1st for taking on the 32mi+ of Rose and Fournier off their books. Fournier will tie up 18+ mil over the next couple seasons as well. While Fournier hasn't played that well for the Knicks, a different style of play without a ball dominant PF and being coached under Rick Carlisle. I'm sure the Pacers will bring out the best in Fournier. As he adds another SF/SG mix off the bench.

Derrick Rose would be more than a salary filler. As the Pacers were talking on leaving open a 15th spot. Specifically for veteran presence and someone to help lead the young player's. Pacers are full of young guards. So Rose wouldn't be expected to play too much, or have to risk injury. However he'd definitely see his playing time and would be a huge asset in the development of our young guards. I don't think there is a PG in the game who could teach player's about what it takes better than D-Rose. We would definitely have a very fun and exciting team to watch. With the bounce all these young guys play with and the shooting/passing talents. Incredible and as much as I'd hate to lose Isaiah Jackson, I've always been such a fan of Jaxson Hayes. Isaiah may even be the better defender right now. Yet Hayes defensive approach is only a little different. One thing they can both do for sure is get up for poster dunks. Block shots and get out in transition quick. The reason I think Hayes is perfect for us, is because his development is a little further along. We will need that in our new big man if we get one. While Hayes can also shoot the 3 ball so pure. I love his shooting stroke. Then to have that older, heavier high I.Q post player that can take it to the best bigs. Willy Hernangomez, this guy is so underrated and he deserves to see some playing time. I'd almost split all the minutes between Hayes and Hernangomez at C. Depending on matchups, I love them both and their individual styles. While you can also play them together and switch Hayes to PF/C. Along with Jalen Smith being a switchable PF/C big also. They'd be the 3 perfect big guy's for our young team. Theis would eventually get traded, but he could still see some minutes. Late in games or in certain matchups, until we find a trade partner. Having a guy like Cam Reddish is one of those risk/reward situations. He looks amazing when he's on, I feel he hasn't been given much of a chance. He'd definitely get his chance with the Pacers. Depending on how well he does play, he could even become a starting SF for us. He had the prototype body, athleticism and nice form on his shot. Getting him around guy's his own age and having some fun may be all he needs to breakthrough. Jalen Smith said that's what had helped him the most coming to Indy.

Pelicans get a very similar player in Isaiah Jackson in return. Who's probably the better defender and I'd be upset to see him become the better player. However, it is what it is. He can play both the PF/C position and is all about hustle. Getting out in transition, catching crazy lobs, blocking shots and can shoot from anywhere also. He doesn't shoot it a lot, but has a nice stroke and hits them when he's open. Bitadze is very similar to Valanciunas in his play style. Big body, mobile big with post moves. Sets good screens and can hit any open 3's at the top of the key. The Pelicans would also recieve a couple 1sts and other picks here as well to make the trade appealing to both sides.

I try to make all trades as realistic as possible and to be fair to each team as much as possible. If the player's are more one sided. Then there should be some pick compensation.

This was a random trade thought. One of many, what do you guy's think about this trade? Equal value for everyone? Let me know what you think. 🤔
