NY Knicks
Jonas Valancius
Cam Whitmore

Wash Wiz
Mitch Robinson

Houston Rockets
Jericho Sims
Rokas Jokubaitus (Rights)
Wiz Pick (protected)

Not sure exactly how these values stack up. Balance the trade with 2nds and rights to over seas players as needed.

Knicks probably end up with enough room to add another vet through Vet Min.

Brunson / Payne / Kolek
Hart / Deuce / Shamet
Bridges / Whitmore / Dadiet
OG / Achiuwa / [Vet Min]
Towns / JV / Huk

Toppin
McCullar
Ryan

I think the crux of the trade is Whitmore. The kind of player the Knicks should be looking for at SF. Not sure how to get him without giving up Robinson for the space. Our package for him is cobbled together. But the stories of him being unhappy in Houston make this plausible?

You know I gonna spin wit it

I think Houston says no. They don't need Sims, White more or the Wiz pick. Cam is on cost controlled contract, so unfortunately... phuck his feelings. I think more is needed to entice the Rockets. Also fit. If he's upset over there, things won't change much here. He'll need to earn Tom's trust.

Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right. - The Tick

It’s a good move for the Knicks to target a young talent like Whitmore, but they’ll need to be strategic with the assets they give up.
