With the New York Knicks seemingly headed into the abyss after missing out on superstars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, who both took their talents across the Brooklyn Bridge, several younger players will need to step up.
Despite walking away without the two dynamic players, the Knicks still managed to walk away with a decent offseason haul including Marcus Morris and Julius Randle. While they’re no Durant and Irving, they’re quality players in their own respect. The logic behind the signings is clear — win now and let the younger players compete for playing time.
For options like Allonzo Trier, it could mean more bench-warming, however, with the 23-year-old being an effective scorer, it’s safe to say he will be a part of the solution in 2019-20.
