New York Knicks star Julius Randle will have the opportunity to test free agency at the season’s end. The Knicks have yet to make a definitive decision regarding Randle’s future, which fuels daily rumors about potential trades. Recently, Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report has proposed a blockbuster trade that could see Randle moving to the Dallas Mavericks.
In this proposed deal, the Mavericks would acquire Randle, but at a significant cost. The Mavs would have to part with P.J. Washington, Daniel Gafford, Jaden Hardy, a 2025 second-round pick (via the Toronto Raptors), and a 2028 second-round pick (via the Miami Heat).

The Knicks’ three-time All-Star will become eligible for a four-year, $181.5 million deal on August 3. With the Knicks potentially unwilling to offer such a long-term deal, this situation could present an opportunity for the Mavericks.
The Mavs are coming off a disappointing season after having their NBA trophy dream dashed. Luka Doncic’s team has been active in the market and recently acquired Klay Thompson from the Golden State Warriors.
Western Conference Executive Weighs In on Julius Randle’s Trade Prospects
Julius Randle is coming off a season where he averaged 24 points and 9.2 rebounds per game while dealing with a shoulder injury. Despite the ongoing trade speculation, the market for the Knicks star hasn’t seen much growth.
One Western Conference executive believes that Randle’s contract and playing style make him a difficult player to trade.
“The Knicks don’t have a lot of options when trying to find a team to take Randle. There aren’t many teams where you can just drop him into the lineup and they’d be fine, and there aren’t many teams that want to match up contracts there,” he said, per Heavy.com.
The unanimous executive suggested that Randle might be a good fit for the Los Angeles Clippers, especially after they recently lost Paul George.
“The Clippers could be an option. They want another star for that group. Look around; that is one of the few places where it can make logical sense,” he added.
