The New York Knicks just won the OG Anunoby trade all over again. And this time, it has little to do with Anunoby himself.
When the Knicks moved Immanuel Quickley as part of that deal, they were making a calculated decision, one in which this front office is intimately familiar with making: that Quickley would not make sense for this team on his next contract.

Writing for The Stein Line, Jake Fischer reports that Toronto has attempted to engage at least two teams on a Quickley trade: The Atlanta Hawks, and Sacramento Kings.
