A first impression is a lasting one.
After shocking news broke of a trade on Saturday sending RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley north of the border to Toronto, many Knicks fans (including myself) were upset. Both RJ and IQ were beloved by the Knicks faithful - two homegrown Knicks that were easy to root for, loved playing here, and were accustomed to basketball life in the Big Apple. The trade officially marked the end of a chapter in Knicks history, one highlighted by Barrett, Quickley, and Obi Toppin.
With every end, however, comes a new beginning.
