Article from The Athletic on what they think our future roster will look like. I said we would pick up Reggie’s option because he was a value contract, hard to find 39% 3 pt shooters for 4M. He didn’t shoot well this year but like the article says his career numbers are better and he should be better next year. DSJ another guy I said should be gone, him and the Knicks are wishing for a change of scenery for him.
The Knicks 2019-20 season is suspended, along with the rest of the NBA, but the point to look to the future had long since passed for this team. Maybe it was when the club fired its head coach in December or its team president in February or even when Leon Rose was officially named president this month. Rose will have many hard choices ahead of him, including how to build out his roster.
He inherits a clean cap sheet and a trove of future picks. Acquiring new and better players will be difficult, but he can pretty much take this roster whichever way he pleases.
To take a look at how this might play out, The Athletic tried to project the rosters for the next few Knicks seasons, taking educated guesses at what the turnover would be from year to year.
