I’m a Knick fan and I don’t see how a Knick package is better then that
Easy.
Lonzo supposedly doesn’t even wanna be there, so your best bet is hoping the Bulls miss out on all the PG’s (but if NO takes a F, one of Garland /White will fall to Chicago). For that you might as well bring back Payton.
The biggest thing is that Ingram is up for an extension and even if he was healthy he might not be worth what he will want to command. You only get a year to find out. Kuzma has the least red flags yet he’d be Zion’s backup at the 4.
The Knick offer gives the Pelicans in theory the perfect defensive pairing in Mitchell Robinson for Zion, another pick to get Barrett (I’m not a fan of Barrett or this draft but if they believe in pairing them together this is the way to do that, and you get future picks. Whatever they throw in as extra is just that (and that includes Knox)
The Clippers might have a better offer than the Lakers because they can take on a Solomon Hill and offer a bunch of prospects including Harrell.
