Trying to follow what’s going on in the NBA draft will make your head spin. The Knicks have already drafted Ousmane Dieng and immediately sent him packing.

We don’t have details on this offer outside of what the Knicks are sending, but this feels more like a salary dump move rather than a trade for Jaden Ivey — the prospect New York had reportedly been pursuing.
