The New York Knicks traded down one spot with the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2026 NBA Draft, moving from pick No. 24 to No. 25. They selected 20-year-old Spanish forward Sergio De Larrea, who averaged 9.7 points per game for Team Valencia. The decision to swap picks saves the Knicks about $150,000 in salary cap space as they manage their finances below the second apron after winning their first NBA title in 53 years. De Larrea's immediate future with the team remains uncertain, suggesting he may not join the Knicks for the upcoming season. Meanwhile, the Lakers used the Knicks' former pick to draft Baylor guard Cameron Carr, a prominent player in last season's Big 12 Conference.
