For better or worse, the task the New York Knicks are faced with is surrounding Carmelo Anthony with enough talent to get back into the playoffs in 2016-17. Maxing out at a first-round exit is not the goal, but missing the playoffs is not an option.
New York may have found a potentially affordable option who’s looking to rediscover his days as an All-Star with the help of the Triangle Offense.
New York will inevitably be interested in every one of the star free agents on the open market. That includes 2014 NBA MVP Kevin Durant, four-time All-Star Al Horford, reigning blocks leader Hassan Whiteside, and perennial postseason point guard Mike Conley.
