There doesn’t seem to be a plan besides “hope a tier 1 (all nba) or tier 2 (all star) player becomes available”.  They lucked into Brunson, we’ll see if he makes it into tier 1/tier 2 category. Other than RJ they have missed on almost all their lottery picks the last 5 years or so. I still have no idea why they traded out of the lottery last year. It really feels like they are letting Thibs drive the player acquisition strategy which is bad because his style of play seems capped at 2nd/3rd round of playoffs even with players like Rose and Butler at their peak.

As constructed this team just can’t shoot well enough to go far in the playoffs. I also think the Knicks and their fans overvalue Quickly and Grimes… neither of them are consistently good shooters. Quickly also needs to get much stronger so he can actually finish his drives into the paint. Fwiw I’m losing zero sleep over losing Toppin… he had a few dunks here and there but he is pretty weak offensively. Another interesting subplot seems to be players who aren’t repped by CAA might be black balling the Knicks because of Leon Rose. I know the Klutch guys are .

Welcome to another 4/5/6 seed and a 2nd round KO because most NBA teams stopped trying in the regular season.

At least they are staying away from the Harden and Lilllard nonsense.
