Tripartite trade proposal helps Knicks win Durant, send Anunobi to the Lakers

According to the latest article by US sports media F/W reporter Sidante Gupta. The New York Knicks have faced some obstacles in their interest in acquiring Kevin Durant. To facilitate this, let's take a look at a three-team trade proposal that can solve the problem. The New York Knicks are one of several teams that have shown interest in Kevin Durant this offseason. After being eliminated in the ECF playoffs, the Knicks embarked on a massive personnel reform. With many lineup changes going on, New York is expected to take major steps to sign the Suns forward. However, the acquisition of Durant will be a challenge. The striker is worth $54.7 million and he will get a huge ceiling no matter which team he joins. Given the current salary cap situation of the Knicks, it is clear that they need a significant salary cut.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns said any deals by Durant would require huge returns. However, given the lack of future development, the Suns have reduced their caps for demand. In any case, it remains a challenge for the Knicks to facilitate the deal without giving up too many main players. So we introduced a third team to help facilitate this initiative. In this particular case, we will look at a potential trade proposal with the Los Angeles Lakers as the third team. The specific plan is:

Knicks get: Durant

Lakers get: Anunobi, 2026 first-round draft pick (WAS)

Suns get: Hart, Hachimura, Knecht, Vincent

This deal has many positive impacts and is helpful to the three teams. It can help the team get rid of enough ceiling space to get the right players. Here we focus on the impact on the Knicks' future.

Kevin Durant formed the Big Three in the Knicks

Kevin Durant's arrival will mark a new era in New York - the new Big Three. The Knicks have Durant, Brunson and Towns and can have one of the most powerful starting rotations in the NBA. Even at 36, Durant is a deadly offensive player. He averaged 26.6 points per game, shot 52.7% from the field and 43.0% from the 3-point line, indicating how efficient he is later in his career. It was almost bursting to pair Durant with one of the best shooting big guys in the league. With Towns averaging 24.4 points and 12.8 rebounds, the Knicks may see their frontcourt look fresh, with Durant coming to the SF position. The strong doubts that Downs has been faced with a bad defense will be a concern. Although Durant isn't the best defender of his age, he's still a solid presence with the potential to help the Knicks' big man in the defensive combo. The powerful combination of Towns and Durant became even more terrifying under Brunson’s host. Although Brunson may be a ball-handling player, his assisting ability is unquestionable. With Durant as a breakthrough, the Knicks' offense may be smoother than the current style.

Of course, under the premise that this plan is established, the Knicks have an important task: to fill the vacancy of the head coach. Whoever coaches the Knicks is also very likely to affect the team's results in signings.
