The Knicks appear to be all-in on developing from within in 2018 before they plan to go outside for game and potential franchise changers next summer.
“We’re not going to be highly active people in the summer,” Knicks general manager Scott Perry said.
Things can change, of course. But the Knicks’ won’t have much to spend in free agency and are not built to win now. So don’t expect them to make a push for LeBron James, despite his relationship with new Knicks’ coach David Fizdale.
Their plan is to not sign anyone to long-term deals and to shed contracts that have more than one-year remaining on it.
