After a slow start to the free agency for Knicks fans out there eager to hear about the freshest player setting camp in Manhattan, New York finally completed the first move of the summer after they could never come close to making things work with Brooklyn native Obadiah Richard Toppin Jr.
The Knicks, as it’d been rumored for a few hours before and after the official start of the summer festivities on Friday at 6 p.m., decided to part ways with their former 2020 draft no. 8 overall pick Obi Toppin in a salary-dump trade that sent the forward packing to Indiana in exchange for two future second-round picks, ESPN first reported.
