Knicks are finalizing trade to send F Obi Toppin to the Pacers for two future second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. Deal gives Toppin an opportunity to play a more significant role in Indiana and stacks up more draft assets for New York. Deal can’t be completed until Thursday.

Excited to have him on the Pacers, I think the effective 3 team swap of Kings send draft capital to pacers who send them Duarte, and then pacers send draft capital to the Knicks and get Toppin puts two players in better contexts where they aren't jammed for minutes and can show if they can continue to grow and develop

Basically swapping Duarte for Toppin, which feels like decent odds for a guy who’s been buried on the bench on the Knicks.

As a Knicks fan it’s sad to see him go but it’s probably for the better hope he does well

I had a toppin jersey. I believed in his potential. I hope he gets some minutes now. I think he worth more then two second picks.

I absolutely feel he's worth more than that. Sucks to see him go as I thought he was a good fit but hopefully with a bigger role, he'll shine
