To me that's a huge risk. I don't get why we're pigeonholing ourselves into subpar trade ideas with NYK regarding Brunson. I can see viable deals with Boston (Smart) and Detroit (Grant). Let THEM deal with NYK in the summer.
I'm not advocating just theory crafting. I have no dog in the Toppin hunt as I know next to nothing about him.
The problem with Grant is I'm assuming you are using THJ for pricing matching purposes and Brunson + THJ might need a sweetener to get that done.
I'm a huge Smart fan but his contract is going to get brutal starting next year. I guess it depends what you are sending out to price match. DFS + Smart + Green would be a nice rotation of defense.
I wonder if the Lakers would be interested in Bullock + Brunson for THT.
