[Scotto] Knick and Clippers originally had trade talks for Paul George at the NBA Draft. NY was considering Obi Toppin, Grimes, Fournier, and three first-round picks in exchange for George. After [Toppin was traded], RJ Barrett’s name was brought up briefly by Clippers.
That sounds like a good deal on paper, but those firsts had to have been those same heavily protected non-lotto picks the Knicks have been trying to trade all year.
Rough for PG, this team is in limbo with all their cap tied up with a few older injury prone guys.
