If we're trading to #2 either a couple unprotected picks or RJ is involved.

Knicks looking to trim $25 million in payroll to make run at Jalen Brunson: report
Brunson is set to be an unrestricted free agent, and could return to the Mavericks
The Knicks are looking to trim roughly $25 million from their payroll to pave the way for a run at pending unrestricted free agent point guard Jalen Brunson, reports Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report.
Per Bleacher Report, the Knicks will also be shopping Alec Burks and Nerlens Noel via trade.
SNY's Ian Begley reports that the Knicks expect Brunson to re-sign with the Mavs.
Dallas has the return of Brunson atop their priority list, and he is expected to be offered a max deal of roughly $85 million for four years.
New York has long been connected to the 25-year-old Brunson, whose father, Rick, was recently hired by the team as an assistant coach and played for the Knicks during his career.
Brunson had the best season of his career for the Mavs in 2021-22, averaging a career-high 16.3 points and 4.8 assists while playing 79 games (61 starts).
The Knicks have been searching for a franchise point guard for years, and were recently linked to Kyrie Irving, who could leave the Nets this offseason with contract talks reportedly stalled.
Per Begley, people around Irving said last month that they saw the Knicks as a potential destination if Irving and the Nets couldn’t work out a new contract.
However, Begley added that there were people within the Knicks who were wary of acquiring Irving. And people in touch with the Nets expressed skepticism that they would deal Irving to the Knicks if they ended up trading him.

We really are in all the rumors and might not actually do any of them.
How old is he though?

And another one...This one at least makes sense. They were gauging Ivey interest last week, tapping teams about trade ups this week, but the more extreme rumors seem like reaches outright.
And we have the first positive news about Mitch re-signing in a while.

Knicks have two young PGs who need playing time to develop. It may be better to spend that money somewhere else.
Sh*t, Knicks have a whole starting lineup of young talent that needs minutes:
IQ
McBride
Grimes
Toppin
Sims

Of all the players to fall during the draft process, Griffin was not one I expected.
