I think NY would want to keep Randle to pair with CJ. A 1 for 1 swap doesn't make a ton of sense for NY. I think we'd need to expand it to a 3rd team that has a youngish vet PF or SF that we would want, who would be looking at a rebuild or a different timeline, and be interested in NY's pieces. I think their move for Rose showed that they want to slightly start to shift to winning, not win NOW, but not tank for eternity. They're currently 7th in the East. They have the 3rd ranked defense, their offense is crap. CJ would improve that a TON, give them a big bucket getter. They're not going out and winning the east behind CJ and Randle. We know that, they know that. But they also likely understand the value playoff games will have on guys like Barrett and Robinson.

What if NY sent out Toppin, Quickley, Frank and picks for CJ. Toppin goes to Atlanta with a pick for Collins. Collins, Quickley, picks here.

Similar move with Orlando and Gordon.

Similar move with Chicago for Markkannen

Something built around Barnes and Bagley with NY.

Maybe Detroit signed Grant primarily to trade him. Similar 3 way deal there?

Something where the basic premises is :

NY In: CJ
NY Out: Toppin, Quickley, Frank(or Knox), 2021 Dallas pick, 2021 NY pick

Portland In: Quickley(or Toppin, depending on 3rd team), more favorable of 2021 pick, player X from 3rd team, Frank(or Knox)
Out: CJ
3rd Team in: Toppin or Quickly, draft pick(potentially)
3rd team out: Piece we want
Click to expand...

I thought your trades wouldn't work salary wise, but I guess since NY is way under the cap, they would!

I think Atlanta would need to give a late first or early second draft pick to NY.
