Part 5/6:
For the Knicks, there's a potential alignment with the trade implications brought about by the Davis move, particularly as they consider future transactions involving Mitchell Robinson. If the Knicks opt to trade Robinson, they will need to pursue a reliable backup center. However, with the Lakers now in search of a center, the Knicks may face stiff competition in acquiring viable options.
Given the Lakers’ need, players like Jonas Valanciunas could become high-demand targets, increasing the stakes for the Knicks in the center market. The Knicks’ strategies could lead to a competitive battle for these key players, making any decisions about Robinson and potential trades a considerable point of focus moving forward.
