Following the trade of their former first-round pick Obi Toppin to the Indiana Pacers, the New York Knicks find themselves with a gap at the power forward position behind Julius Randle.
The Need for Support: Reinforcing the Roster
While Randle remains a critical asset and chief playmaker in their offense alongside Jalen Brunson, the Knicks need to strengthen their rotation to secure a well-rounded roster.
There’s no denying that the Knicks could benefit from a third superstar to join forces with their leading duo. However, securing such a player without parting ways with RJ Barrett could be a complex task, as illustrated by their pursuit of Paul George.
