On the last day of 2023, the Raptors and the Knicks made a shocking trade, and the Knicks traded Barrett + Quickley + 2 second-round picks for the Raptors' Anunoby + Achiuwa + Flynn.
Barrett: 24 years old, 1.98 meters tall, Tanhua in 2019, with an annual salary of 23.88 million, averaged 18.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.3 steals per game this season.
Quickley: 25 years old, 1.91 meters tall, the 25th pick in the first round in 2020, with an annual salary of 4.17 million, averaging 15 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.1 blocks per game this season.
Anunoby: 26 years old, 2.01 meters tall, the 23rd pick in the first round in 2017, with an annual salary of 18.64 million, averaging 15.1 points, 4 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.5 blocks per game this season.
Achiuwa: 24 years old, 2.03 meters tall, 20th pick in the first round in 2020. With an annual salary of 4.38 million, he averaged 7.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks per game this season.
Flynn: 26 years old, 1.85 meters tall, the 29th pick in the first round in 2020, with an annual salary of 3.87 million, averaging 5.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.2 steals per game this season.
Judging from the data, the Knicks are at a loss, but the Knicks' reinforcement is very targeted, improving the height and defensive intensity, Brunson is only 1.88 meters, and Randle as a big forward is only 2.03 meters, and the defense of the two is not good. Anunoby's arrival not only makes up for the lack of height, but also makes up for the defensive intensity, and he is one of the few best 3Ds in the league!
Achiuwa and Flynn don't do much of a job, it's just a trade add-on, and there's news that the Knicks plan to cut Flynn.
After the trade is completed, the Knicks start: Brunson + DiVincenzo + Arnonubby + Randle + Robinson, the strength has improved a little, but it is too difficult to get out in the East, and there is still a lot of gap between the top teams.
Raptors starters: Schroder + Barrett + Barnes + Siakam + Poeltl, the strength has not improved, and there will be a trade in the future.
