Trade Proposal #2- The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

With this trade the Knicks can take a flier on Knight who desperately needs a change of scenery. They also gain a cap affordable point guard in Ulis, get a big with a lot of room to grow in Chriss and get a first. They also clear the books of Noah’s terrible deal and can give more minutes to Willy Hernangomez. The Suns benefit by getting Porzingis and don’t have to give up as much, as they are taking one of the worst deals in the NBA. They keep their 2017 pick and could potentially trot out a Bledsoe, Booker, Josh Jackson, TJ Warren, and Porzingis crunchtime lineup. Now that’s an awesome lineup.
