Time for first look at the mysterious Knicks

SAN ANTONIO — After a modest summer overhaul and an uneven 1-3 preseason, the Knicks flew into town following Tuesday’s practice, but nobody really knows where this franchise is going.

“They’re more a puzzle than having pieces to a puzzle right now,’’ one NBA personnel man said.

Some league personnel think the Knicks did the next-best thing after being shut out of signing stars, keeping flexibility in signing a flock of role players to one-year deals.

For now, the Knicks are still 0-0 as the season opener arrives Wednesday night at AT&T Center against a Spurs team that has made the playoffs 22 straight years, but is still smarting from the Knicks’ summertime heist of Marcus Morris.
