The Knicks are trading Tim Hardaway Jr. for the 19th pick, Jerian Grant

Holy crap:

The Knicks are trading Tim Hardaway to the Hawks, who will draft Jerian Grant for the Knicks, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

More on this to come, probably, but OH MAN, would that be a coup. Jerian Grant is a big, talented, experienced guard who can do all kinds of things. I don't know him that well beyond watching him in the tournament, but I like him at 19, and I like him a LOT better than Tim Hardaway Jr. I would have been happy trading Hardaway for the 60th pick, for real. This feels like an excellent trade right now. More to come?

The Hawks, I assume, did this because they want to save a little bit of money and Grant's 19th selection slots him into a slightly higher pick than Hardaway was. This is the kind of situation you should exploit on when you're below the cap like the Knicks are, and it's a nice little surprise to see this front office pouncing ond raft night.
