The New York Knicks and the Toronto Raptors completed a trade, creating trade exceptions valued at $5.2 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The trade has received mixed reactions, with some believing it will benefit both teams. Analysts suggest that the deal slightly favors Toronto but makes sense for both sides. The Knicks are seen as a better team post-trade, with potential to further improve their roster. The absence of a first-round pick in the deal is noted as positioning the Knicks well to pursue additional talent.
Got to say the Knicks are set up really nicely now. They are officially one piece away from being true contenders. Not including a first round pick in the OG deal really put them in a good position to go get that player.
