Knicks must do one thing to avoid repeating last season’s biggest mistake

There is reportedly “internal support” for the New York Knicks to run back the same starting five in 2025-26 as they did last season. That is a debatable line of thinking given how last year ended. But if the team wants to stick with that group, it must do one thing before NBA training camps open: add another wing to the roster.

Bagging another perimeter player with size—somewhere in that 6’5” to 6’8 range”—should already be on the to-do list. The Knicks have Pacome Dadiet and could sign Kevin McCullar Jr. or second-round pick Mohamed Diawara, but they’ve made it pretty clear they don’t envision leaning too heavily on young players.
