The New York Knicks offseason is widely considered one of the worst ones in the NBA after 2019 NBA Free Agency in which they missed out on big time NBA free agents Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Kawhi Leonard. Losing two of the biggest free agents to the crosstown rivals Brooklyn Nets has been the focus of the Knicks offseason as the 2019-2020 NBA season draws closer but what about the other Knicks free agency signings? Is signing Julius Randle away from the New Orleans Pelicans a good enough consolation prize? Taj Gibson is signing with the Knicks after a few years with the Minnesota Timberwolves, can he provide the veteran leadership a young Knicks roster needs? What effect will other signings like Bobby Portis, Wayne Ellington and Elfrid Payton have on the Knicks and can they help the Knicks compete in the Eastern Conference next season?
RJ Barrett and Ignas Brazdeikis have had very different performances at the Knicks Summer League with Barrett struggling to find his shot and Iggy excelling for New York. Did the Knicks find a steal in the second round of the 2019 NBA Draft in the former University of Michigan forward? On the other hand, former Duke guard RJ Barrett is facing big expectations after being selected third overall by the Knicks but is struggling in Las Vegas. Is RJ Barrett already facing the possibility of being branded an NBA bust?
