Knicks Rumors: Big Name Headed Out In Next Trade?

The New York Knicks haven't even debuted OG Anunoby, their splashy new trade acquisition yet, and already there's talk of the next major move to come. And it would be a huge move.

According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, Julius Randle could be the next to go.

An NBA executive believes the Knicks next BIG trade will include Julius Randle + Picks, per NBA Insider .@MikeAScotto.

The NBA executive stated the following on the Knicks BLOCKBUSTER Trade:

"The Knicks are in a good place to use Julius Randle and picks to make another big move, so that justifies them giving up two of their scoring options (in the Anunoby trade)," an NBA executive told Scotto.

Some NBA execs, however, actually felt that Quickley was the Knicks' second-best trade asset (after Jalen Brunson). But Randle would still be able to bring back a big return. He's currently averaging 23.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 4.8 assists.

“They have to add another creator or scoring type of player, or they’re going to run Brunson into the ground," said another executive.

Rumors indicate that the Knicks have been targeting Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray, who would certainly fit that need, and they are still interested in making it happen.

"The Knicks will continue to be active on the trade market," says Scotto.
