Knicks officials have invested heavily in turning their team into a legitimate contender this offseason, first by trading a staggering amount of first-round picks for Brooklyn Nets forward Mikal Bridges and then re-signing forward OG Anunoby to a max extension to keep him with the franchise for the foreseeable future.
Brunson remains one of the NBA’s best guards, and the team is eagerly awaiting the return of power forward Julius Randle, who had two of the worst performances in NBA playoff history for New York but has yet to work with a team as talented as this one in his career.
Additionally, the high-profile acquisitions will give the Knicks a chance to move several talented players who made the playoffs last season, including Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo, who both made key plays in the series against the 76ers.
In any case, the Knicks will play their first game of the new season on October 22nd on the road against the Boston Celtics.
