First of many perhaps? The Knicks have officially cut ties with Austin Rivers after he got caught in the swell and floated from the rotation despite two fantastic games against Utah. Rivers came very close to reuniting with his pops but will be moving out to Oklahoma City where his contract threatens to keep him in limbo and purgatory all at once.
The full Sixers-Thunder-Knicks deal, per league source:
Philly gets: George Hill, Iggy Brazdeikis
OKC gets: Tony Bradley, Philly's 2nd round picks in 2025 and 2026, and Austin Rivers
Knicks get: Terrance Ferguson, Vincent Poirier, 2021 2nd round pick from Philly— Kyle Neubeck (@KyleNeubeck) March 25, 2021Also shedding Iggy Brazdeikis, the Canadian Michigan product that definitely seemed like the type of guy to hit a game winning shot and then punch you in the face to celebrate.
