Houston receives more shooting and some defense in this deal. While taking on Gordon’s contract for two second-rounders is a tough sell, the Knicks might accept given the overall market for this pair isn’t great. Ellington and Bullock will need guaranteed contracts to make this deal work, while Houston gladly welcomes more shooting to its lineup.

Losing Tucker will be a huge loss for Houston since he is such an integral part of the team identity, defensively and offensively.
