With so many questions swirling around the New York Knicks a little more than one month into the season, it’s become abundantly, uncomfortably clear that this team doesn’t need a trade.
It needs multiple trades.
This isn’t what you want to read about a squad that has zero first-round picks to dangle, and within $150,000 of the second-apron threshold they cannot cross. The Knicks should be close to a finished product—a bankable powerhouse—for all they have expended to build this core.
They’re not. And they need to accept as much. Expecting this team to hit all of the right notes without making any changes would be a recipe for disappointment.
