Knicks president Leon Rose has decided to grace the team’s fanbase with an explanation for his series of moves during Thursday’s NBA Draft.
And by explanation, we mean the perpetually unaccountable Rose released a statement without any substance.
Last night, we made three trades involving draft picks, which resulted in increased financial flexibility and additional draft capital moving forward. We now have a total of 22 picks, 11 in the first round and 11 in the second round, over the next seven years.
We have the ability to be active in free agency, as well as in the trade market, Our focus will remain to be strategic and thoughtful in our team building, doing it the right way, while feeding off of the momentum from the end of last season and prioritizing our player development program.
