Knicks deal Austin Rivers and Iggy Brazdeikis, acquire 76ers' Terrance Ferguson in three-way trade

The Knicks have acquired 76ers SG Terrance Ferguson and C Vincent Poirier in a three-way trade that also sends PG Austin Rivers to the Oklahoma City Thunder and Iggy Brazdeikis to Philadelphia.

SNY NBA insider Ian Begley has also confirmed that Poirier will be waived by the Knicks, opening up a roster spot.

Here's the full scope of the trade, as the teams involved officially announced the move on Thursday night.

- 76ers acquire Thunder PG George Hill and Brazdeikis

- Knicks acquire Ferguson, Poirier (since waived), the rights to Emir Preldžić, Philly's 2021 second-round pick and Miami’s 2024 second-round pick (protected Nos. 31-55) via the Sixers.

- Oklahoma City acquires C Tony Bradley, Rivers, and Philly's 2025 and 2026 second-round picks

Begley reported earlier in the week that the Knicks were trying to amicably part ways with Rivers due to his not having a clear role on the team. Rivers, who is currently on paternity leave, has had trouble seeing the floor since New York dealt for Derrick Rose, which only added to the logjam of point guards on the roster.

As for the 22-year-old Ferguson, he's a former first-round pick by the Thunder in 2017. He was a part of the Thunder's Danny Green trade with Philly before the start of the season.

He's seen time in just 13 games this season, averaging a low 3.8 minutes per game. Green, Matisse Thybulle, Seth Curry and others were above him on the depth chart in Philly.

Brazdeikis was in a similar situation as Ferguson and Poirier -- he just didn't have a place on the team. Despite showing promise as a second-rounder two seasons ago, it was hard for Tom Thibodeau to find time for Brazdeikis when RJ Barrett, Julius Randle, Alec Burks, and Obi Toppin are all on the roster.
