The Knicks may look to be a little more passive this summer than some fans may have hoped and in exchange, they could look to make a big move in free agency in 2022.
The narrative has been that this free agency pool is a bit on the lackluster side, so instead of paying big on some guys that may not be in the team’s future plans, the wise move would be to hold off until next year when the market will be stocked with star talent.
As recently as last month, a source said the Knicks have talked internally about the possibility of holding enough cap space this summer for 2022 and keeping enough money around to be able to go after a max player in that 2022 class, which should include Zach LaVine and Bradley Beal.
