The Knicks BIGGEST Problem Keeps Getting Worse...

Thank you Rocket Money for sponsoring this video. Try Rocket Money for free: RocketMoney.co...
This is the most anticipated Knicks season this century… the Melo teams were good, some others had their moments…
but in terms of expectations - the idea that the New York Knicks could be REAL contenders to represent the Eastern Conference in the 2025 NBA Finals - this season is as good as it gets.
They’ve spent YEARS making smart move after smart move - seeing the value in Jalen Brunson when SO MANY people were wrong about that contract
(including me)
Trading for Josh Hart, signing Donte DiVinzenzo, trading for OG Anunoby, and then truly signifying their championship intentions this offseason by making THE big move… trading for Mikal Bridges.
The Knicks have created this unbelievably interesting modern roster full of shooting, size, defense, versatility… and one of the best offensive players in the league in Jalen Brunson to lead the entire thing.
BUT…
They are not perfect.

Bro as long as everyone is healthy come playoff time knicks are ok

[@dustinsirois4788]

What will be really really interesting is since they all nova boys.....will the rest take pay cuts like Brunson did to bring in more talent....it's very possible or maybe Brunson took that payout solely so they can pay the rest of the nova boys. But if they all are willing to take a payout which is very possible watch out man they will be players for a legit c and if they get themselves 1 of those...jesus

I don't buy Knicks as a REAL contender. People are talking as if with some luck they have a realistic title shot, no the hell they don't, they need a comical amount of luck to win this upcoming season. I think they are only getting this Championship buzz due to them being a good team in New York. If i had too guess they loose competitively in the Eastern semis or loose somewhat convincingly in the eastern final, assuming the injury/opponent matchup situation is normal. I am convinced if you put this roster in the Pelicans, Hornets, Blazers jersey people will be thinking about a competitive 1st round exit or 2nd round gentleman sweep.

They should just suck it up and trade Randle for some solid starting center (Zubac for instance).
