Alex Abrines and Joffrey Lauvergne head to New York

These two are young rising stars who could help out the Knicks especially if Carmelo departs. New York has plenty of bigs and they need some guards who are young as well.

These two are developing players. Abrines is a young player continuously learning, who can challenge Rose and Jennings at the point guard role.

Lauvergne on the other hand is young, yet is talented, is quick on his feet, and hustles everywhere on the court.

Additionally, he is versatile and has played for the Grizzlies and Nuggets.

He would be able to ease the departure of Anthony by starting in that position.

Joffrey can shoot from downtown, create stops, and is a team player who is good at making plays for his teammates.

Guillermo Hernangomez would play alongside Abrines off the bench helping keep the Knicks bench play consistent.

Lastly, here is a random fact many international players have played on the Knicks and have had success.

These three will have success because the organization has a foundation its built on. So how do the Knicks make room, they send one of their stars to the final team in this three team trade.
