With six games remaining on the schedule, all eyes are on the future of the New York Knicks. New York has been eliminated from the playoffs, its 2015-16 roster features a number of players who are approaching free agency, and a key veteran is seemingly on the way out.
The players and executives have spoken, and the coaches will now oblige: the youth movement will arrive during the final six games of the 2015-16 season.
Interim head coach Kurt Rambis revealed to reporters that several veterans requested that he cut their minutes. This isn’t an attempt to rest or preserve their bodies, but instead a decision made by the leaders to give the younger players more playing time.
