[At least] Two possibilities exist. Either Jackson rolls the dice on a player or two who have tarnished reputations or he is forced to part with an improbable trade chip - say, Gallo, Grant, or Lance Thomas. It may make more sense to think about what Knicks other teams want and work the trade scenarios backwards.

I'm guessing that released players may also factor into roster corrections.

It will definitely be unorthodox. That's what's he's been doing. He did mention that in the press conference too. It's on like Donkey Kong

We need a PG and and chance to move Seraphin and Jose. We need a little more length at the 5 position. Preferably another agile stretch 4/5 who can rebound and defend

AA has value as a nice stop gap wing scorer. (Det?)
DWill's value is self explanatory... especially to an uptempo team
Lance has value as a versatile defensive player

I think all 3 could be traded, especially if they arent in the Knicks long term plans. All will be looking for bigger payouts

Jose, Langston and Seraphin are also parts that might help another team if the situation is right.

KOQ and Rolo I suspect are staying as its a poor message to FA potentials to trade guys in the first year of a 4 year deal, so I suspect they will not be offered in trades.
