I think the Knicks would accept Brunson + Kleber for Knox + our 2023 pick. Maybe you can even throw in Richardson´s expiring contract, if you need some extra space. Thibs is not a re-building coach. He´s win now.
Let´s be real. That 2023 pick is not worth that much anyway due to the protection. If Doncic went down for any extended period of time, we are easily bottom five, assuming Harrison isn´t as dumb as the old Mavs hierarchy managing draft positions. If Luka is healthy, we are likely outside the top 20. So Brunson and Kleber is a pretty sweet deal.
Getting that 2023 pick back is not the issue, if Lillard or somebody else wants to come here.
Finding an overall package, maybe...
Porzingis to Sacramento
Barnes + Bagley + picks to Portland
Lillard to Dallas
