The Knicks could be a year away from relevance.
According to Business Insider, the Knicks (along with the crosstown rival Nets) could be eyeing a double free-agent whammy next July: Point guard Kyrie Irving and wing Jimmy Butler.
Two league sources told Business Insider that there is a buzz about the Boston Celtics' Kyrie Irving and the Minnesota Timberwolves' Jimmy Butler teaming up next summer, with one source saying the chatter is "substantial."
Both sources also said the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets could be well-positioned to land the two players if they are indeed keen on teaming up.
