Something like Randle, Ellington, Knox, and DSJ for CP3, HOU 2026 FRP, LAC 2024 FRP
PG: CP3, Ntilikina, Reggie Jackson [FA], Riller [D38]
Swing: RJ, Bullock, Dot, Iggy, Pinson, Bogdanovic [FA], Vassell [D8], Bane[D27]
FrontCourt: MR, Portis, M. Harrell [FA], C. Wood [FA], Wooten
My wild-assed guess.
I can't wrap my head around any multiple team trades but I'd put an outside chance the 76ers could come up with something for CP3 or could facilitate something while also wanting him and making some semblance of sense.
76ers have nothing but long term heavyweight contracts. Knicks assets are easier to use/move. If OKC is in fact rebuilding Knox and/or DSJ *could* develop into long-term assets as could Randle.
Horford and Thybulle would nab CP3 but Horford is 34 yrs old with a much longer contract.
