The trade
Knicks get
Kyle Lowry
Phoenix suns get
Shane Larkin
Tim Hardaway Jr.
Toronto Raptors get
Jose Calderon
Alex Len
Danny Granger
4th overall pick
Why it makes sense for the knicks
The Knicks get the player they have wanted for the past few seasons in kyle lowry, the player who could make Carmelo Anthony return to relevance.
They also are not losing anybody who they really care about other than the 4th pick
Why it makes sense for the suns
This is a really good trade for the Suns because its a salary dump plus a talent upgrade off the bench because gerald green is looking like he is gonna bolt. Also Alex Len looks like he just wont fit with phoenix he just isnt a good fit he is slow doesnt rebound the ball well, brendan wright is much better. the suns are also getting a speedy point guard to come off the bench in Shane Larkin.
Why it makes sense for Toronto
The raptors need a significant talent upgrade because let's face it we SUCK.
we Get a better back up point guard in Jose calderon
Some actual front court depth in Alex Len who is still has some fairly decent upside because he could protect the rim better than jonas. We also get danny granger who use to be an incredible scorer injuries have reduced him to a ok bench player. AND THE ONLY REASON WE DO THIS TRADE for the 4th overall pick
There are a bunch of players who could become superstars int his draft like Dangelo Russell, Karl Anthony-Towns,Emanuel mudiay, Justise Winslow, Jahlil Okafor and stanley johnson.
What do you think about this trade??????
