New York Knicks Receive: Victor Oladipo
Houston Rockets Receive: Alec Burks, Kevin Knox II, Frank Ntilikina, 2021 First Round Pick Swap (via LAC)
This trade smells like success for both sides of the deal. The New York Knicks would be getting an outstanding shooting guard as they aim to make a legitimate playoff run in the Eastern Conference and the Rockets would be able to get some good value in return for their impending free agent.
The Houston Rockets are in the process of rebuilding, which means they are going to want to acquire young talent and stop gaps while they look to piece their team back together with franchise cornerstones through the NBA Draft.
