There has long been speculation about how the New York Knicks will use their cap space in the summer of 2019. The general sentiment around the league was the Knicks would land at least one max contract free-agent, while many believed the franchise had a legitimate chance to acquire some combination of Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving. Those hopes have taken a dramatic hit since the 2018-19 season ended.
Davis is now a Laker, and the Knicks may not be a top option for Leonard. The status of Durant and Irving is still up in the air, however, the two have met multiple times with hopes of teaming up and playing for the same team.
