Jake Nisse on the most important trade for the Knicks not involving the Knicks!
Someone had to do it.
After the Knicks were linked to All Star guard Russell Westbrook as a possible trade target, the Wizards pulled the trigger Wednesday night, sending oft-injured star John Wall and a first-round pick to the Houston Rockets, according ESPN. The Athletic reports that there are protections on the pick through the 2026 Draft.
Phew.
Unless, of course, the Wizards and/or the Rockets flip one of their newly acquired point guards to the Knicks later, of course.
