The New York Knicks are actively exploring options for a backup to Julius Randle to fill the vacancy left by Obi Toppin on the roster.
A Power Forward Void
Following the trade of Toppin to the Indiana Pacers, a gap for a power forward has emerged on the Knicks’ roster. However, the Knicks are not looking to make expensive trades or offload key players. Instead, they’re seeking a budget-friendly alternative that can create opportunities for teammates and offer strong defense.
Hypothetical Trade Proposition For the Knicks
Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report suggested a hypothetical trade that would bring a high-potential power forward to back up Randle, but it would necessitate the Knicks giving up two valuable assets, making it a questionable move.
