The New York Knicks have been rumored to be considering a trade with the Atlanta Hawks that would send the No. 3 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft in return for the No. 8 and No. 10 overall picks.
Why the New York Knicks should stay put at No. 3:
Essentially, the Knicks would get two picks in the top 10 in exchange for the No. 3 pick. The Knicks shouldn’t consider this move for a second as RJ Barrett, the expected selection for New York, provides significantly more immediate value and offers a higher probability of success than a later selection.
