So Payne, Beal, Booker, Durant, and Ayton as the starting 5? That's a very good starting lineup, but that bench looks painfully thin. Not to mention Ayton might still want out.
Wizards look like they're finally starting a rebuild on the other hand instead of treading water. Wonder if Porzingis is up next on the trading block.
Starting a rebuild by getting no first round pick or young player lol.
I know they basically had no choice, but still.
Moving Beal saves them a lot of contract space since they can waive Chris Paul before the 28th. Kuzma and Porzingis both have player options, but after next season the biggest contracts they have are Gafford and Shamet. It looks like the Wizards owe the Knicks a first round pick, but they have a good chance at landing high picks in the next few seasons otherwise.
the FRP the Knicks have is heavily protected. Ultimately it will convey into two 2nds now that they're rebuilding.
