3 Burning Questions For The New York Knicks This Offseason

The New York Knicks finished the season with the second-worst record in NBA, and both fans and the front office are hoping to turn the franchise around as quickly as possible. This offseason will be very important for the Knicks' future, so what questions do they have to answer?

1) Can they sign a marquee free agent?

New York has been desperately searching for a superstar they can pair with Carmelo Anthony, but they haven't been able to sign one. There are several top players in this year's free agency class that are considering the Knicks, and landing one (or two) of those players would go a long way in getting New York back to the top of the NBA.

2) Will they draft a future star?

Perhaps more important than landing a superstar in free agency, New York has to hit on their first round draft pick. The Knicks are expected to receive a top-two pick, but they won't fall out of the top four. This is the rare occasion where New York is in position to draft a franchise player that can lead them for the next decade in a half, and drafting the wrong player could set the Knicks even further back.

3) Which current players stay?

Head coach Derek Fisher and team president Phil Jackson used the last half of the season to bring in younger players to evaluate them for their rebuild. Guys like Langston Galloway ran with the opportunity and proved they deserve a spot in this league, while other players showed they couldn't cut it. While it may not get the headlines, trimming the fat off the roster will be just as important for the Knicks this offseason as anything else.
