With the NBA draft less then 2 months away, the New York Knicks will have a lot of decisions to make. Â Well, this all depends on where the ping pong balls land. Â If the Knicks get the number one pick, do they consider trading it to New Orleans for Anthony Davis?
Some fans may think this is a no brainer.  How can you trade away the number one pick, if they so happen to get it.  Welp, for a player like Davis, you’d have to consider it.
However, in this case, you simply can not do it. Â Zion Williamson is going to a superstar. Â This is not saying that Davis is not. Â But, the ceiling for Williamson is so much higher. Â There has not been a player coming to the NBA with this hype since LeBron.
Yes, Davis is already established and some consider him the best overall talent in the NBA. Â They are not wrong. Â But, players around the league are going to want to play with Williamson. Â He has the skill set, personality and likability that makes him appealing.
This is not saying that players do not want to play with Davis. Â But, he could have put a bad taste in players and fans mouths in New Orleans for stating that he will not sign with the team long term. Â Zion does not command that treatment yet, but that will come in time, trust me.
And to those fans that want to see Davis in a Knicks uniform along Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, it is unrealistic unless the Knicks trade the first pick, aka Williamson. Â Plus, the cap space is simply not there to have those 3 superstars on the same team.
Trading away Williamson would be one of the biggest bonehead trades of all-time.  He will be younger, on a rookie contract and already a superstar.  You simply can not do it, even for the player that Anthony Davis is.  Let’s not pull a New York Giants in this situation and trade away a superstar, if we so happen to be in that position.
