The New York Knicks were very quiet in this year’s trade deadline, with a Jericho Sims and Delon Wright swap being their only move. New York didn’t have many tradeable assets that would get their team over the hump, and Sims’ value was incredibly low due to poor play and inconsistent time on the court.
The Los Angeles Lakers, meanwhile, were the complete opposite of quiet, pulling off a blockbuster trade to acquire Luka Doncic in what is arguably the most stunning trade in league history.

Though the Bucks chose to take Sims on to help complete the Khris Middleton and Kyle Kuzma blockbuster trade, they reportedly weren’t the only team that was willing to take on the high-flying big man.
