Sources told NBA columnist Marc Stein toward the finish of the normal season the New York Knicks would "be available to doing essentially anything shy of exchanging" RJ Barrett (h/t Yahoo Sports). That is fine. Furthermore, without a doubt false.
Honestly: Stein's detailing isn't being referred to. He's really connected. The Knicks simply have no obvious untouchables on the program.
Everything changes in the event that they're retooling starting from the earliest stage. You don't exchange away a prospective 22-year-old who has outflanked assumptions on protection, lifted his edge pressure midyear and ended up being a skilled set three-point shooter with underexplored passing cleaves on the off chance that you're revamping.
The Knicks are not reconstructing. They're won't ever reconstruct.
History recommends they'll attempt to join the following Superstar Sweepstakes, at whatever point it very well might be, for whomever it could be. Also, assuming that opportunity arrives over the offseason, Barrett will be their top exchange chip, without exception.
This isn't equivalent to saying "They should move him!" It relies upon the star target, and what the rival group needs consequently. New York ought to do everything possible to land a star without coughing up Barrett. He likewise can't be a huge issue. The Knicks don't have anybody deserving of being an issue. Their possibility progressive system is a wreck of unclear guarantee. Barrett sits on it, serenely, yet not external it.
