With the 2018-19 season already out of the New York Knicks’ hands, there’s an eye on the next offseason. It starts with June’s 2019 NBA Draft, which the Knicks project, as of Dec. 19, to have a top-five selection.
While the draft will hold obvious importance, New York projects to have about $29 million available in cap space, with Allonzo Trier’s two-year deal. For now, it’s not enough to hand someone like Kevin Durant a maximum salary.
However, that does not mean the Knicks will fail to sign a marquee name. Count Los Angeles Lakers center Tyson Chandler, who played in the Big Apple from 2011-14, as someone that believes free agency may prove fruitful for his old squad, according to Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News:
“They have a chance to land a big-time free agent to pair with Porzingis and after that I think it can happen real quick,” Chandler said.
