New York Knicks: Why trading for Russell Westbrook makes sense

The New York Knicks need a star like Russell Westbrook and everyone knows it.

Okay, so the team is young and someone like RJ Barrett could be a future star. On top of that, the Knicks have two first-round picks this year. One of them can absolutely be the team’s future franchise point guard and set the tone for the Leon Rose era. There may not be star power now, but it’s coming, right?

That’s all fine and dandy, but my question to every New York Knicks fan is this: Why gamble on a rookie when you could have someone established?
