Sometimes, the interests of two parties just coincide. Sometimes, the interests of an NBA player and team align as well.

You’ve got to love that kind of synergy. You’ve got a long drive ahead of you, and you don’t feel like being alone. Luckily, your friend needs a ride in the same direction. 

In those cases, they ought to explore possibilities. They can likely come to a mutually beneficial arrangement. 

For example, Jaylen Brown seems to want to leave the Boston Celtics.

Meanwhile, the New York Knicks may be in the market for a star player.

Could those interests come together this summer?
