Knicks trade Sergio De Larrea to Mavericks and Suns in draft process

The New York Knicks engaged in multiple trades during the NBA Draft on June 24, 2026. Initially, they traded the No. 25 pick, Sergio De Larrea, to the Dallas Mavericks for the No. 30 pick, Koa Peat, and two second-round picks. Subsequently, they sent Peat to the Phoenix Suns, acquiring additional assets including three future second-round picks and cash. This strategy indicates a focus on increasing their asset pool instead of retaining late-first-round talent. The Knicks' approach may influence their actions in the remaining draft rounds and the upcoming free agency period.
