The New York Knicks have made it abundantly clear that the current focus is on building for the future. The organization has exhausted its resources to execute a youth movement, and it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
Although the Knicks have the talent to potentially turn heads in the Eastern Conference, the allure of the postseason won’t distract head coach Jeff Hornacek from the bigger picture.
In executing a rebuild, the Knicks have placed faith in players such as Kristaps Porzingis and Frank Ntilikina to lead the organization into the future. It’s a risky endeavor, but it’s one that the front office is prepared to be patient with—and the coaching staff isn’t going to rush.
