IF the Knicks FO had signed the FA PF-Christian Wood, after trading PF Obi Toppin to the Pacers, that would've made a lot of good sense for the Knicks rotation. Plus Wood would give Randle 20 minutes of rest on the bench each game.
It would've been rewarding to have a fresh duo of Wood & Hartenstein in the Knicks frontcourt coming off the bench.
The Knicks have no legit backup PF for Randle in the game rotation.
And the Knicks have no SF for the rotation next season. Unless they get Paul George or OG this offseason.
What the Knicks do have is SIX SG on the roster ....
6.3 PG/SG Quickley,
6.4 SG Grimes,
6.4 SG Donte,
6.4 SG Hart,
6.6 SG Barrett,
and 6.6 SG Fournier.
A fan would think the Knicks would've traded 2 of their SG, before signing a FA SG, then giving a SG a big $$$ extension.
None of the Knicks 6 SG could outscore or defend their opponents top scoring SF or top scoring guards ..
Like Butler & Lowry, or Tatum & Brown, or Middleton & Holiday, or Harris & Harden, or Barnes & OG, or Trae & Murray. And that's just 6 teams in the Eastern Conference.
