For the New York Knicks, there’s nowhere to go but up. The 2018-19 season was historically bad in Madison Square Garden as the Knicks only managed to squeak out 17 wins. For large swaths of the 82-game schedule, the Knickerbockers were painful to watch. There’s no denying it.
But during all that losing, there was a light at the end of the tunnel. The Knicks had the best odds to land Zion Williamson in the draft and surely Kevin Durant was coming to the Knicks in free agency with a running mate in tow.
As we all know, the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.
