What do you think the Knicks’ appetite for young players, rather than future picks would be? Would Okogie, for example, be an attractive Dotson replacement in a deal to unload Johnson?
Also curious about the Magic — I haven’t seen them discussed in these types of articles, but they seem like a case of maxed out success on a bloated payroll. Would someone like Terrence Ross (front-loaded $37.5mm / 3 yrs) or Al-Farouq Aminu (~$20mm / 2 yrs) be able to bring a first? That type of opportunity seems similar to TJ Warren or (more conservatively) Tony Snell last year, who both could’ve been sent out again the deadline.
Filling out a roster around these players also seems interesting, as former teammates like Meyers Leonard (with Johnson or Aminu), notable Giannis buddy, Pat Connaughton (with Aminu), or Goran Dragic (with Johnson) could offer a degree of chemistry / familiarity and “winning culture” on cheaper contracts than some of the more commonly discussed options.
