NYK/LAL Trade

[WestCoastExpress]

New York Knicks Trade:
New York 2020 2nd Round Pick
New York 2021 2nd Round Pick

LA Lakers Trade:
2021 2nd Round Pick
SG/SF Denzel Valentine, $0.5m (2021)


Essentially I'm betting on myself to finish ahead of NY in the 2021 season, and therefore would get a slight pick upgrade in the 2nd Round.
That said, NYK will be a solid team as soon as this year with all their cap space, and certainly in 2 years if they keep the cap this year and let everyone else spend, and then capitalize on that in next year's RFA and FA periods.

Other than that, it's Valentine for a 2nd Round Pick.

I've got Anderson and Ellington as reserve SG/SF players, so Valentine was expendable for a pick.

confirms.  Valentine has shown steady improvement as his role has been solidified.  I think he will take the next step forward for the Bulls next year and give me solid production from the SG/SF position's.  Thanks for the easy talks and good luck to
