Knicks have not been capped out for quite awhile now. The problem is that until this Brunson get, they never got their primary targets to bite when they had cap space available and they had to settle for second tier guys. Last years use of cap space was a disaster as just one year later they had to attach assets to get rid of Walker, Burks, and Noel who had all been  signed. I do not think the Robinson signing was an overpay. You certainly could not go out there and find a comparable replacement player for that $ 15M/yr., especially not a free agent.

I totally agree with your conclusion about where the Knicks wind up.

How do they improve ??

1. Randle needs to step it back up to All-Star level.
2. Barrett needs to take the next step, hopefully to All-Star level.
3. I think the two really talented young players that they have are Quick and Obi. They both need to be given much bigger roles to see what they are really capable of.
4. Thibs needs to coach much better than he did last season.

If everything came together and they stayed healthy, I could see a Top 5 or so finish in their conference. Just saying IF, not predicting that it will play out that way.
