Evaluating a team’s offseason on social media is an exercise in futility. We do it anyway and I’m certainly guilty of it, yet it takes a special type of fan to sift through the various overreactions that are often associated with moves made by the New York Knicks.
Yes, it is true that the Knicks missed out on both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in free agency. It is also true the Knicks signed a bunch of productive players, albeit most of them at the forward position, to team-friendly deals.
As a result of these statements, Knicks fans have largely fallen on either side of the following bridge: the Knicks are completely foolish for creating a logjam at the forward positions, which possibly limits playing time for some of their young guns, or they’re creating a utopia of competition and depth that may push the team towards a playoff berth.
