Knicks gonna mess around and end up with both Jrue Holiday and Gordon Hayward.

How so?
Let’s think first about how Jrue Holiday is, in fact, rated. I think most people think of him as good starting guard who plays both sides of the ball, which he is.
Don’t really see to many people acting like he’s a upper tier star (except for David Griffin saying he was going to be an MVP candidate before last season).

Is Jrue really an upgrade over Wiggins tho?
Aside from the contract situation

No doubt he's a good, even great, player but the #2 overall pick + more for him?

If Griffin did say that, he is just trying to pump up his stock. He doesn't really believe that. Draft coming at the end of the month and Pels trying to grab another piece.

Wiggins and #2 for Jrue and whatever pick the Pels have? Clearly I’m making stuff up
Why would the Pels want Wiggins though? They clearly have the superior player in Ingram.
And who would they choose for #2?

What would a trade look like? I would say it would have to be Tobias (who would fit well with the Pels) but I am sure the Pels will get better offers.
DO IT MOREY!
^ Felt good saying that!

depends on who they value at #2. And if you can trick the dubs into the 2021 pick. Wiggins and ingram could play together, not saying they’d be good.

Number 2 pick in what’s considered a weak draft held by a team that’s in win now mode. For another team it might be too much, but for this Warriors team I think it would make sense.

Jrue Holiday coming off an all star season @ 23 years old was traded for the 5th pick in another weak draft 2013.
You mean to tell me 7 years later @ 30...he's worth a #2 pick...AND another pick which could up in the high lottery in a deeper draft?
Math seems off to me. Especially not for a player that's going to push you over the top.

Mike Conley syndrome.
And this is coming from a guy who likes both those players.
I agree, but his value has gotten bigger through the years. He has name value. Back in 2013 people were like Jrue, meh. Now it's like Jrue?? That dude is a lockdown defender.
But I agree with your point. Warriors aren't giving all that up for Jrue.

Jrue’s a perfect fit on any team but GSW really needs another guy who can guard bigger forwards.
Wiggins was supposed to develop into that guy

Why would The Pels want to kill any future cap by paying Wiggins to come there & **** up Ingram & Zion's development on top of it

I'd rather have Anthony Edwards and Andrew Wiggins than Jrue Holiday if I were Golden State.
Wiggins is an awful contract, but he's not a completely awful player. He can basically be what Harrison Barnes was for them. Athletic wing that's a useful starter.
Draft Edwards and basically force him to exert energy on defense. Whatever he does offensively is a bonus. You then actually have a talented young player for the post-Curry years down the line.
