The Knicks are considering trading Karl-Anthony Towns and have discussed potential deals with the Magic, Hornets, and Grizzlies, per @StevePopper (h/t @RealGM)
I wonder what those teams might offer.
MagicI don't think the Magic trade F Wagner or Banchero for Towns. Bane for Towns would be interesting. That would be a fun small ball Knicks lineup with Brunson - Bane - Mikal Bridges - Anunoby - M Robinson. Orlando don't have a shooter at SG to replace Bane. Towns would be awesome at center next to F Wagner & Banchero with the spacing / shot making Towns would provide.
I don't know that the Magic could afford Towns, Franz, Banchero & Bane all together. What would that offer look like? Suggs, J Isaac, and picks. I wonder if they could fit Wendell Carter Jr into the deal. Josh Hart earns too much money. Yabu & Dadiet plus Towns for Suggs, Isaac, Wendell works.
GrizzliesStraight swap of JJJ for Towns. Wow, JJJ makes hardly any money. KCP + JJJ for Towns works.
A smaller return for NYK. Zach Edey as a replacement center. So Edey & M Robinson. Santi Aldama as the new starting PF. KCP as a cap makeweight. 3 for 1. Rebalance the roster. No star return. Maybe get some picks.
HornetsSounds like the Hornets want to move Miles Bridges. Bridges & Colin Sexton for Towns works.
Bridges would be an interesting option at forward alongside Mikal Bridges & Anunoby. A three man forward rotation. A small forward rotation though. No real size. Not sure how much value Sexton would have for the Knicks given they already have Miles McBride & Jordan Clarkson alongside Brunson. Not sure that deal is that desireable for NYC. Plus picks I guess.
Would they give up Brandon Miller for Towns?
Would NY even be interested in B Miller?
I don't think much of B Miller.
