As the 2023 NBA Draft creeps closer, the New York Knicks could be considering a trade that would get the organization a draft pick. After trading a first-round pick to Portland for Josh Hart and Dallas tanking to keep the protected pick that they sent to New York as part of the Kristaps Porzingis trade, the Knicks are without a draft pick this year.
Obi Toppin is a player that’s popped up in a couple of trade ideas that would net the Knicks a late first-round selection. The 25-year-old will become extension eligible this summer but he doesn’t seem to have much of a future in New York, meaning that the front office should consider dealing him to a new team as he’s set to be a restricted free agent next offseason.
