The New York Knicks are inevitably going to make a trade. And following the Washington Wizards’ acquisition of Trae Young, they should be trying to pursue a deal sooner rather than later—all in the name of capitalizing on the Wizards pick they currently own.
In the aftermath of Washington adding a four-time All-Star, many are wondering whether they’ll end up being so good that their first-rounder this year conveys to New York. Remember, the Knicks will receive the pick if it lands outside the top eight. Otherwise, it turns into the Wizards’ 2026 and 2027 second-rounders.
