Team president Phil Jackson, general manager Steve Mills and director of player personnel Mark Warkentien: Your homemade cookies, wrapped in a shiny bow, are on their way. Some observers have dismissed your New York Knicks' offseason maneuvers as posturing that makes the team socially relevant but not legitimately competitive...but they're just hating.
(That said, there's also a basket of avocados and vitamins on its way to the players, because, well, there is some injury history to consider.)
The Knicks' acquisitions are, across-the-board, smart bets, if not entirely safe ones.
The new squad is a little old-school: point guards who drive and centers who post up.
