This would be a complete makeover of the Knicks backcourt. The Bulls would receive arguably the Knicks’ two most prized prospects in Barrett and Quickley, as well as the team’s first-round pick in a terrific 2021 draft class.

Barrett has shown significant improvement in his sophomore season, and very much looks like the budding star that Knicks fans want him to become.

Immanuel Quickley has quickly (No pun intended) captured Knicks fans’ hearts. The 21-year-old rookie has thrived almost any time he’s gotten significant playing time.

Quickley looks like he could be a dynamite scorer in the NBA for years to come. He certainly looks like the best guard the Knicks have drafted in a long time.

While the Knicks do get a bonafide star in LaVine, what does the rest of their backcourt look like? Elfrid Payton, Austin Rivers, Frank Ntilikina?

LaVine’s impact shouldn’t be understated, and this deal could work out for the Knicks. With that said, it could also backfire, and losing multiple picks in next year’s draft class could prove to be costly down the line.
