Knicks are looking for a stable and reliable starting PG to lead the team’s offense. They acquire Fred VanVleet, who is an experienced All Star PG that can help the team immediately. Thibs is reluctant to start Quickley so, it makes sense to trade him for someone that will.

Knicks Starters: VanVleet, Fournier, Barrett, Randle, Robinson

Raptors acquire a younger combo guard in Quickley, who’s age fits better on the team’s timeline. They get the 11th pick to draft another prospect of their choice, possibly a center like Jalen Duren or Mark Williams. They also receive Alec Burks and Nerlens Noel to match the salaries, but also be a effective veterans off the bench. Their contracts are expiring so the Raptors clear about $20M in cap space next offseason.

Raptors Starters: Quickley, Anunoby, Barnes, Siakam, Duren/Williams

Fair trade for both sides?
