The Knicks Know EXACTLY What They're Doing

over the past decade the New York Knicks have mostly pinned the laughing stock of the NBA they routinely missed out on free agents they overpaid over the hill players they didn't necessarily draft well and consequently missed the playoffs eight times over the last 10 seasons however the past three years have proven that the Knicks are headed in the right direction and could be a force in upcoming years Jalen Brunson has been their best point guard in over a decade you could legitimately say that you're proud of this team's younger core and the Knicks actually had the assets to make a splash for a big name in the near future here's why the Knicks are on track to be contenders sooner rather than later and also why the culture they're building will pay dividends for the franchise before we begin be sure to leave a like on the video as each like makes a tremendous difference for the channel and be sure to sub to the channel for even more content like this New York Knicks got a lot of blowback for signing Jalen Brunson last off season and the most recent people had for this is that he was overpaid however viewers of this channel know that I was extremely high on that signing at the time for several reasons for one the Knicks weren't paying for the Jalen Brunson we saw play ineffective but somewhat suppress role beside Luka doncic they were paying for the brunts now we saw average 20 points a rebounds in four assists and 17 games without Luca in the 2022 season mind you this was the same player that averaged 32 points five assists and five rebounds and Lucas absence through the first three games of the Jazz series and led the Mavs to a 2-1 series lead for the entirety of that 2022 playoffs it would average 22-5 and 4 as a second option and he somehow got even better this season in his first full season with the New York York Knicks he would average 24 6 and 4 on 49 from the field and 42 percent from three also winning Eastern Conference player of the month for February while leading the Knicks to their best record in February in 33 years in the playoffs Brunson was pretty good as well he would average 28 6 and 5 averaged 37 7-5 in the last three games of the Miami Heat series and was instrumental in each step of the way at an average salary of 26 million a year Jalen Brunson is a complete steal for the Knicks especially when you compare him to deals that other players signed as of late Fred Van Fleet who shot 39 from the field this past season and is a worse player than Jalen Brunson I might add is set to make 43 million dollars each season for the next three seasons Jeremy riots is set to make 32 million dollars per year over the next five seasons and Desmond Bain signed a five-year deal worth 207 million dollars another reason to be high on New York Knicks future is their draft history as of late in the 2020 NBA draft they selected Emmanuel quickly at the 25th pick and it's safe to say that this pick has worked out well for the team quickly just came off a season where he was runner-up for Sixth Man of the Year while averaging 15 points on 37 from 3 and 39 on catch and shoot threes in the last 15 games of the regular season quickly would put on a show while also demonstrating his scoring prowess averaging 22 points five assistant five rebounds on 39 from three on seven attempts for much of the past decade the Knicks flew through a carousel of point guards that were completely avoid in areas such as shooting or creation but in 2023 they have both Brunson and quickly that constructs the floor but the ball on the floor and crate for themselves and others and overall lead and offense among others the Knicks also have Quentin Grimes who's the 25th pick in the following draft and provides defensive versatility and floor spacing as a 6'5 guard and is just 23 years of age this free agency the Knicks were on the quiet side with their biggest addition being Dante divincenzo from the Golden State Warriors another Villanova player to join both Brunson and Josh Hart he's a player that plays solid defense provides floor spacing and she got 40 percent from three last season of five attempts and is a guy that will put his body on the line in order for his team to win games moreover being patient and holding on to their assets is free agency is a move that's going to pay dividends for this team before the Knicks for a losing program that solely sold the city as the biggest lore for free agents to join the franchise and dangled x amount of picks to fetch B tier caliber players via trade but with a right-minded front office and with the Knicks having winning seasons into the last three seasons the Knicks are becoming an attractive destination for stars around the league they have a player in Jalen Brunson that stars would love to come and play with they have 11 first round picks in the next seven drafts they have young talents and they also have Evan fournier's contract in order to match salaries in a blockbuster trade and yeah the city of New York is pretty neat as well among guys that they could Target in upcoming years via trade is Joel embiid who might seek a change in scenery given what's happening in Philly right now just the prophecies next points I've fully believe that Joel embiid will be a sixth rallies next season and probably even the next season given the fact that they have cap space in 2025 but as we've seen in the NBA strange things do really happen the Sixers have yet to make the Conference Finals in the Jewel and beat era we have no clue when their James Harden situation will be resolved in the 2024 season could consequently look rough for the Sixers James Harden obviously opted into the final year of his deal in order for the Sixers to find a trade partner for him but you need to keep in mind that we're talking about Daryl Moore here so this Saga could even drag into the regular season like you did with Ben Simmons however Hardin is not extension eligible to any team that trades for him being that the Sixers might be looking at a package of role players in exchange for Hardin which obviously isn't going to move the needle even if Tyrese Maxi makes the leap out I expect him to make embiid could ask out in 2024 or he might might stay but the point is the Knicks are loaded with assets to acquire a superstar caliber player that makes sense for the team overall there are a lot of bright points for the New York Knicks from where they are now and where they'll be in three years time next season they'll obviously have Julius Randle Jalen Brunson Josh Hart Mitchell Robinson IQ among others and most definitely our playoff team collectively and could pose as a notable threat in the Eastern Conference and long term we could easily see the Knicks make one or multiple Conference Finals or Beyond because they wait at the right time to cash in their assets for the ideal star to pair with Jalen Brunson those are just my thoughts the New York Knicks present and future so comment down below your thoughts on the team as well how well has Jalen Brunson impressed you in his first season with the New York Knicks and what Young player are you most excited about on this team also what ideal star do you think would be a perfect pairing with Jalen Brunson for the future let me know in the comment section down below be sure to leave a like
