The rumor du jour on the New York Knicks trade front is that there have been exploratory conversations with the Los Angeles Clippers involving one-half of their two-headed wing monster, Paul George.
It doesn’t take long for me to talk myself into almost any Knicks star trade. Bradley Beal? Sure. Zach LaVine? Of course. Donovan Mitchell? In an instant.
The ease with which I decide it is time for the Knicks to cash in is rooted in my belief that RJ Barrett will not be one of the top two players on the team when it jumps to the next tier.
