The Knicks are back and are going to be making their first playoff appearance since 2013, which is why they are going to be aggressive this offseason in terms of making moves to set themselves up for even more future success. 

With close to $60M in cap space this offseason, the Knicks not only have the ability to trade for CJ McCollum, who is owed $100M over the next three seasons, but they also have the ability to go after more high-level talent as well! 

With 12 draft picks over the next three drafts, the Knicks have the draft assets to be able to put together a lucrative deal for McCollum, and they also have some intriguing young talents that could peak the Blazers interest. Mitchell Robinson, Immanuel Quickley, Obi Toppin and Kevin Knox II would all likely be available in a trade package for McCollum should the Knicks be interested in pursuing him.

Julius Randle has emerged as a star-level player and R.J. Barrett is on the rise to being an All-Star type of talent, but the Knicks still need a little more firepower offensively. Adding CJ McCollum not only gives them a high-level offensive talent, but somebody who can be relied on to knock down big time shots, including multiple three-point shots per game. 

While his defense has been shaky over the years, McCollum is the exact kind of offensive talent the Knicks should be looking to pursue in the offseason, even if this move does cost them two first-round picks and a young talent like Obi Toppin or Immanuel Quickley.
