Any deal we do needs to send out more salary somehow. There’s no way to add a big contract without moving Dinwiddie, Bertans or THJ
Brunson+ Kleber + Burke + Brown for Randle + Kemba + our 2023 pick seems sufficient.
Given how the Knicks have devalued Randle and seem intent to move toward a Zion/Barrett/Reddish future, I´d say he´s pretty much neutral value, especially given the cheap-ish contract.
Kleber is still a positive asset for a contender (especially as an expiring deal).
Creating capspace for an outright big offer Brunson signing would cost the Knicks roughly a 1st round pick.
Add a little negative value on the two year Kemba deal, so they have to take Burke and Brown on expiring deals.
Seems a fair deal all around, IF we have to lose Brunson.
