I love what the Knicks are doing. They are just collecting as much young lottery talent as possible and seeing who sticks. Playoffs w KP this season might have been a reach, wo him, forget about it.

knicks could be a playoff team next season. For that to happen we will need:

1. 100% return of KP
2. Several of the young players to prove they are the real deal. Love what I have seen from Trier, he should be starting at some point this season. Trey Burke may never be a star, but I think he can be an average to above average PG. Knox is talented, but raw, he needs to get stronger and to develop more consistency. Vonlah could be a big surprise. He may just be able to step in and start if they let Kanter walk for salary issues. Robinson -  very elite athleticism, also very raw -huge upside. No to mention that Hardaway is still pretty young. He flashes star level talent, but so far is not consistent enough to be a star, maybe this is the season he matures into a star role since he will be the #1 option until KP returns. Not sure Frankie has enough O to be a long term starter, but he should definitely be a rotation specialist. Herzonga should also be at least a rotation guy, maybe more. So far, it appears only Mudiay amongst the young talent can be written off.
3. i expect them to be in the lottery, gotta secure another good pick.
4. They will have cap room for a free agent. If by any chance that free agent was named Durant or irving they could be much more than just a playoff contender.
