The New York Knicks are sitting in 8th position in the Eastern Conference with a 17-15 record. They have a great squad, but they have yet to find their franchise player. They recently hit another roadblock after Mitchell Robinson picked up a long-term injury.

The Toronto Raptors, on the other hand, are headed towards a rebuild, but they can switch their plans to build a competitive squad by acquiring some stars as well. They are currently ranked 12th in the Eastern Conference with a 12-20 record.

They are in dire need of players who can help them reach the playoffs and further rounds as well. Acquiring RJ Barrett was probably a part of their future plans as well. It would be interesting to see how it rolls out. Here is what RJ Barrett said about his trade from the New York Knicks to the Toronto Raptors.
