Lol. Our back-up pointguard for a star prospect. Funny.
Marcus Smart + #16 might land you #4 if New York loves Smart.
IT is under contract for the next 3 years. There's a good chance he'll be BETTER than anyone the Knicks get at #4 over that stretch. And he costs less than 7 million dollars a year.
If the Knicks were assured of getting a top free agent like LaMarcus Aldridge, trading the #4 for IT, #28 and #33 would be a pretty good deal because the Knicks need to win NOW, NOW, NOW with Melo.

No it wouldn't, at least for the Knicks. If they put 4 up on the open market they could and would get a heck of a lot more than that.
At a minimum it would have to be something like IT, Sully/KO, 16, 2016 pick and that still probably isn't enough.
