Now this is an interesting idea.
As the Knicks get set for what can be a franchise-changing summer, free agency and the NBA Draft lottery loom as the levers the team will pull to go from awful to good. But both methods come with risk.
While it's now easy to imagine, say, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving landing with the Knicks this summer, acquiring one now would ensure Bird Rights and change the entire equation.
Adding Durant in the middle of a Warriors dynasty push seems far-fetched.
