3 players Knicks should trade for not named Paul George

Here are 3 players the Knicks should trade for: 2. OG Anunoby

Knick fans won’t be happy with the Knicks offseason if they didn’t end up getting a star player. This offseason should be focused on making minor improvements, especially in the starting lineup. A player that has been on the trade market for a while is OG Anunoby. He would be the perfect fit for the Knicks lineup.

Anunoby is a 6-foot-7  small forward where last season he averaged 16.8 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, lead the league in steals at 1.9 per game and shot 47.6 percent from the field, 38.7 percent from 3, and 83.4 percent from the free throw line. Anunoby was also selected to the 2023 All-Defensive second team.

This is the type of player that is the perfect fit for Coach Thibs system. He gives the team more defense on the wing but it also allows the Knicks to play bigger. RJ Barrett is currently the Knicks starting small forward at 6-foot-6. Adding Anunoby will allow Barrett to move back to his natural position as a shooting guard and Barrett won’t be responsible for guarding guys like Jimmy Butler.

The Knicks will be able to pull off the trade that includes Evan Fournier and multiple first-round picks. Anunoby will fill in a bunch of holes. He gives the Knicks consistent 3-point shooting, great slashing ability, a great free-throw shooter, and is one of the best defenders in the league.
