The New York Knicks might strike out on free agency’s top players, but they still have approximately $70 million in cap space at their disposal. While it can be applied to trades, the easiest way in through the open market.
One backup option is Julius Randle, who, according to Marc Berman of the New York Post, the Knicks like. The four-year big man spent 2018-19 with the New Orleans Pelicans, before opting out of his contract’s second season.
With any potential target, there are upsides and downsides to a player’s arrival.
