Despite it being the running gag I can't see the Knicks trading up unless the Lakers were willing to wait until at least 2017 to cash in. They don't have a second rounder nor do they have any picks in 2016.
I think the Knicks would be in good shape with Russell. Mudiay screams bust to me, though. Would rather trade and pick someone later in the first round, and probably get back into the 2016 draft as well.
