Trade Scenario Number 1:

Chris Paul continues to be linked to the Los Angeles Lakers and being teamed up with his good friend LeBron. This trade allows that to happen and helps each team in a way get to their desired spot.

The Thunder are looking to go younger and they get Kuzma in the deal. They also get the opportunity to establish a value for Julius Randle and then flip him again for an asset. While only giving up Paul in the deal.

The Knicks swap out two years of Randle at Green’s one-year expiring deal, helping give them flexibility with a new regime. They also get a young prospect that’s still only 22 years old in Terrance Ferguson who needs a change of scenery. Then you add in pick 28 that helps them get a prospect that they could use now or stash away.

Lakers get their target in CP3 to help him try and get a ring. He is coming off a surprising season in OKC. One that he made the All-Star team and All-NBA selection while also helping lead them to a game seven thriller with the Houston Rockets.

He still looks to have some basketball left in him and would dominate on the floor with LeBron and AD. As it is quite possible CP3 has the best IQ of any player in NBA history.
