Knicks Finally Moving In The Right Direction

After their offense ran aground in a first-round playoff loss to the Hawks amid a construction site’s worth of bricked jumpers, the Knicks entered the summer with one goal in mind. It wasn’t going big-game hunting for a superstar, as so many New York front offices have tried (and failed) to do in the past, but something more modest: adding more shooting and off-the-dribble playmaking.

They opened up the checkbook in free agency, spending a shade under $91 million this summer to import the starting backcourt of the 2020-21 Celtics with the express purpose of ensuring that, the next time they faced a must-score situation, their suite of offensive options would include something beyond Julius Randle going one on five.

Both Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier will demand much more respect from defenses than Elfrid Payton or Reggie Bullock did with a live dribble. They should both provide high-level partners in the screen game for dive-threat bigs like Mitchell Robinson, Nerlens Noel, and 2020 no. 8 pick Obi Toppin.

Beyond that, New York will just go ahead and try to be as good as possible with a likable young roster that’s more talented than any it has presented in nearly a decade, for now.

If an opportunity for a bigger swing arises, though, this iteration of the Knicks now has a demonstrably clearer road map to an all-in superstar trade, and maybe enough ammunition to get it done. It’s the kind of normal, patient, prudent brand of management that Dolan’s franchise has been utterly unable to produce for eons, and now, it seems, it’s finally here.
