Pelicans Get
Frank Ntilikina
New York Knicks Frank Ntilikina Trade #1
This wouldn’t be the first time I’ve traded for JJ Redick and it’s probably not the last.
JJ Redick had previously mentioned that if he were to be traded, both the New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets would be his ideal destinations as Redick lives in New York during the offseason.
I am a massive fan of JJ Redick as both a player and a personality and would love nothing more for him to spend his final years in the league on the New York Knicks.
I listen to his podcast regularly so having him on my favorite team would make it that much more fun to listen to.
Would also like to have him in the building in order to convince him to start his inevitable coaching career after he retires as a New York Knicks assistant coach.
JJ Redick provides the New York Knicks with both the shooting they desperately need and a veteran player to pair with the young pups with plenty of playoff experience.
They’re making the playoffs, I have spoken. Therefore, they need to start thinking about who would help the team in the tough scenarios that come with a playoff push.
Frank Ntilikina to the Pelicans makes a ton of sense.
Lonzo Ball is likely being traded or re-signing elsewhere, therefore they can use the depth at the guard spots.
He clearly provides the team with a level of defense that very few possess in this league, and would have the ability to re-sign him at a pretty nice discount or match any offer he may get in free agency.
For a struggling team that’s looking to remain young, Frank Ntilikina is a perfect fit.
New York Knicks</a>.</p>
<p>To all the Frank Stans…I am sorry.</p>
<p>I know you all love the guy and want him to be on the team when they INEVITABLY win a title in the coming years! (Trying to speak it into existence)</p>
<p>Heck, I love Frank Ntilikina as well. He might be one of the top 25 backcourt defenders in the league.</p>
<p>If only he was capable of scoring even just 8-9 points per game, I could see him starting for the New York Knicks today.</p>
<p>The fact remains, his offense is lagging far behind his defensive abilities and that makes him a massive liability in today’s NBA.</p>
<p>Frank Ntilikina could go to a number of other teams with more firepower than the New York Knicks have and really show out.</p>
<h2>Should the New York Knicks trade Frank Ntilikina this season?</h2>
<p>I’ve <a href=https://dailyknicks.com/2021/03/03/new-york-knicks-trades-frank-ntilikina/2/"https://dailyknicks.com/2020/12/26/knicks-3-frank-ntilikina-trades-improve-roster/">traded Frank Ntilikina before</a>, and guess what, I’m doing it again today.</p>
<p>Similar to <a href=https://dailyknicks.com/2021/03/03/new-york-knicks-trades-frank-ntilikina/2/"https://dailyknicks.com/2021/02/25/knicks-3-trades-austin-rivers/">a trade piece I wrote recently</a> involving Austin Rivers, I want to explore 3 levels of trades for the Frenchman.</p>
<p>Frank Ntilikina surely has more trade value than Austin Rivers does, so the New York Knicks should be able to get better returns in exchange for his services.</p>
<p>We always say “Once a Knick, Always a Knick” for just about anyone who’s spent some time playing at The Garden, but in Frank Ntilikina’s case, I truly want to see him get much more playing time than he’s been getting the last few years and have a real opportunity grow in the league.</p>
<p>Here we’re going to discuss 3 different levels of trades involving Frank Ntilikina.</p>
