One of the more anticipated moves of the offseason for the Knicks finally came to fruition as the Knicks traded 2021 1st Round Pick Obi Toppin to the Indiana Pacers. In return, the Knicks will be receiving two future second-round picks, although because free agency hasn’t officially begun, the trade isn’t official until Thursday.
A tough loss for the locker room, Toppin was a well-respected teammate in New York, although the lack of playing time because of the emergence of two-time All-Star Julius Randle may have caused some friction. Toppin averaged 7.4 points per game on a 56.
