1: Evan Fournier

Because of the aforementioned Grimes chatter, fans are ready to ship Evan Fournier off, which is why he falls above Randle.

The Knicks will likely have to give up a bit more than Randle and Fournier in terms of players, but that’s a start.

With the Fournier trade rumors, it was thought that he’d be sent to Dallas if a sign-and-trade deal materialized for Brunson, but that ended up not being the case.

And now, all signs seem to be pointing towards the 3-point shooter leaving the Knicks after one season. Either that or he’ll be coming off the bench. But if New York goes after Mitchell to start at the two spot, there will be less of a need for Fournier, which is why him leaving wouldn’t be so bad. His shooting would have to be replaced, though.

That brings us to the end. If the Knicks are serious about going after Mitchell, which is reportedly the case, they’ll have to throw in a few of these players along with picks. New York’s rotation is already going to look different with Brunson in the mix, but it could end up looking a lot different than it does right now.

Is Mitchell going to come home and play for the Knicks?
