The NY Knicks find themselves in a flexible spot ahead of the trade deadline. The team is in the middle of the playoff of the picture, currently sitting 5th in the Eastern Conference. In the coming weeks, they could decide to either make a big trade stand pat. The team has draft picks, cap space, and a winning roster – It’s a great spot to be in.
Head coach Tom Thibodeau has established an identity with this Knicks’ team composed of hard-nosed defense, winning battles in the trenches, and a slow, grind-it-out offense.
