Free agency is nearly upon us. The Knicks don’t figure to do much of anything, but as last season proved, sometimes the smallest additions can pay big dividends.
Trey Burke seemed like he was on the fringes of the league last season, but after signing with the Westchester Knicks in the G-League, he came up to the big club and is now a valuable player on a minimum contract. Troy Williams was pulled off the scrap heap mid-season and showed some flashes as a defensive-minded bench wing. Michael Beasley and Jarrett Jack provided a steady veteran presence, even helping keep the Knicks in the playoff hunt before Kristaps Porzingis’ ACL injury.
