I’m still convinced that the New York Knicks will do something on or around draft day. Ricky Rubio’s latest meeting in Sacramento didn’t go according to plan after the 18-year-old Spaniard came down with an illness. If the Kings aren’t necessarily sold on Rubio at this point, the following sign-and-trade makes sense: New York re-sings Nate Robinson and trades him, along with Wilson Chandler, for the rights to the fourth overall draft pick, Ricky Rubio. It would give Sacramento a solid young starting lineup of Robinson, Kevin Martin, Chandler, Jason Thompson, and Spencer Hawes. New York, on the other hand, would re-sign David Lee, and offer him, alongside Rubio and 8th overall pick DeMar DeRozan as a solid supporting cast to surround LeBron James. Trade or no trade, I think the following mock is still valid.
