GettyRJ Barrett #9 of the New York Knicks hits a three-point play against the Toronto Raptors.

The New York Knicks are again linked to Donovan Mitchell in the wake of the mounting injuries in Cleveland. But for Bill Simmons of The Ringer, he’d rather want the Knicks to make another trade before revisiting Mitchell in the offseason.

Simmon’s proposal is a straight swap involving RJ Barrett and Toronto Raptors’ OG Anunoby, plus one of the Knicks’ protected picks from other teams.

“If you’re Toronto, why wouldn’t you just flip in OG for Barrett, grab one of those [Knicks] protected picks and just call it a day,” Simmons said on the December 19 episode of “The Bill Simmons” podcast. “I actually like Barrett.”
