Knicks trade proposal sends promising young guard to the Sacramento Kings

[Yahoo! Sports - NBA - Sacramento Kings News]

The New York Knicks enter next season as one of the favorites to come out of the Eastern Conference. After a very successful season that saw them reach the conference finals for the first time since 2000, the Knicks are ready to take another step. Bleacher Report's Zach Buckley proposed a deal that would send reserve guard Miles McBride to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Keon Ellis, and a 2026 first-round pick. “The Knicks are heavily invested in this core and fully believe it holds championship potential,” Buckley said.

lol what.
Why the hell are the Kings giving up a pick AND the better player in this scenario?

Let me first stress that I hate articles that purport to be news but in fact are only reporting on other people's navel-gazing and that they belong in their own special circle of hell. That said, the professional navel-gazer this AI slop was stolen from suggested that the Knicks send McBride and a protected first to the Kings for Keon.

Still dumb and a seemingly bad misread of Keon's value and the Kings' perception of him, but at least in the original garbage, the pick was going the right way.

Ellis on his current contract is worth at least 2 FRP also Mike Brown barely played him so lol "familiarity" if we want that angle Nets.

He'll need to actually get extended before he's worth 2 FRPs.

If he had agreement to re-sign with the new team his Bird rights carry over (or do they not because he was promoted from a 2-way?), but the receiving team doesn't give up much in returning salary. It seems like under that scenario he is worth multiple picks. but hey what do I know what folks are doing under this new CBA, every time I think it is starting to make sense there's a stupid signing or someone I thought was a good player on a fair contract that is untradeable.

The league sees a difference between an S&T or extend-and-trade (when the two actions are simultaneous) and a nudge-nudge-wink-wink agreement to a contract that cannot currently be offered. The T'Wolves and Joe Smith learned that one the hard way.

The Joe Smith situation was a little more complicated than agreeing to an extension during trade talks since his plan was a series of multiple one low money deals to achieve Bird status.

But when trading an expiring player, is not negotiating with the receiving club normal and effectively what killed the chance of making any move for Siakam or Anunoby, but both were able to tell their new teams they would re-sign and did.
