2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Jason Terry]

OKC could just outright sign Reddish to a 24M/per year RFA in FA and still comes out ahead financially opposed to the trade you suggested.

Brunson+ Kleber + Burke + Brown for Randle + Kemba + our 2023 pick seems sufficient.

Given how the Knicks have devalued Randle and seem intent to move toward a Zion/Barrett/Reddish future, I´d say he´s pretty much neutral value, especially given the cheap-ish contract.
Kleber is still a positive asset for a contender (especially as an expiring deal).
Creating capspace for an outright big offer Brunson signing would cost the Knicks roughly a 1st round pick.
Add a little negative value on the two year Kemba deal, so they have to take Burke and Brown on expiring deals.

Seems a fair deal all around, IF we have to lose Brunson.

The problem if we sign and trade Brunson is we are forced to be under the apron next year. Any deal we do needs to send out more salary somehow. There’s no way to add a big contract without moving Dinwiddie, Bertans or THJ
