New York Knicks Receive: C Christian Wood

Houston Rockets Receive: F Obi Toppin, G Quentin Grimes, F Kevin Knox II, 2022 First-Round Pick (Top-5 Protected), 2023 First-Round Pick (via DAL)

The New York Knicks finally seem to have some depth all over the floor and this includes the frontcourt. At the same time, Taj Gibson and Nerlens Noel are not long-term pieces.

The Knicks could improve if they get a productive player who can be there for the upcoming years as the team continues to improve. This is where Christian Wood can fit right in.

The price would not be cheap as Wood is no longer a secret. The Knicks have some assets they would be able to part ways with.

Obi Toppin is quickly becoming a fan favorite and would lead the return going back to Houston. He’s been stuck behind Julius Randle and likely will remain in such a situation.
