New York Knicks trade Julius Randle to the Golden State Warriors

Here’s a trade idea that would bring immediate success to both the Knicks and Golden State Warriors:

  • Warriors get: Julius Randle, 2021 first-round draft pick (No. 19), 2021 first-round draft pick (No. 21)
  • Knicks get: Draymond Green, 2021 first-round draft pick (No. 7), 2021 first-round draft pick (No. 14)

The salaries match up almost perfectly and the Warriors and Knicks would essentially be swapping picks for one player that is on his downswing and one that is on his upswing (to use golf logic).

It’s a deal that would make sense for both sides, even if it would come with some initial scrutiny. Let’s explore and breakdown why this is a perfect deal for both teams.
