There’s a good feeling about this New York Knicks regime and the moves over the offseason. All of their answers to the media have been encouraging to say the least. For the first time in a long time, the Knicks will reportedly not use their draft picks as trade bait.
As most fans would like to forget, New York’s past rebuilding processes have occurred with an absence of draft picks stemming from the Carmelo Anthony trade, and embarrassingly the Andrea Bargnani trade. Trading for a 29-year old Jimmy Butler seems like a move in the wrong direction, especially when he becomes a free agent next season.
