Lost two home games in a row, the Knicks have been forced to a 0-2 situation by the Pacers. Thibodeau is finally going to pay for his "Five Donkeys" tactics, and changes in the offseason are inevitable.

Durant joins the Knicks trading plan:

Knicks send OG-Anunobi + Dadiye + Mahon + 2025 from the Bucks first round + 2025 from the Pistons first round, and got Durant.

Anunobi vs. Durant

Feasibility analysis:

vs. Knicks: After the transaction, it can form a starting five-man group of "Brunson, Bridges, Hart, Durant, and Towns", and the offense will rise to another level; there are also strong players such as McBride, Mitchell Robinson, and Achuva on the bench, and there is no big problem with rotation (provided that Thibodeau is willing to rotate); in addition, Durant's playing time is always in the top few days of the league, which is very consistent with Thibodeau's "Five Donkeys" tactical positioning.

Thibodeau

vs. Suns: Quasi-Anuobi + 19-year-old 2024 first-round pick Dadiye + 2022 first-round pick Ma Hong, a star forward and two young and potential strikers, which is very in line with the Suns' appetite. In addition, there are 2 first-round picks (although they are behind in the first round), which is very conducive to the reconstruction of the Suns.
