Is this trade a win-win or does it only make sense to me,
Markelle Fultz for Frankie Smokes. (Nikitilina)
The Sixers need a lockdown perimeter defender which Frank is. NO ONE would be able to score against a line up of Frank, Butler, Simmons, Embiid and JJ. JJ is a clear weak link but there are just too many plus defenders for him to sink the ship.
The Knicks need to take shots on high upside dudes, which Markelle is. If Markelle can even get a mid-range j, imagine a pick & roll with he and KP. UNF. The length & athleticism of those two, Robinson & Knox? UNF.
