Free agency did not start as expected for the New York Knicks, missing out on the top available players, including Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Instead, they signed six players to fill all but one of their roster spots.
These signings will contribute towards the 2019-20 team and potentially beyond, pending their team options in 2020-21 — for everyone but Randle — are exercised.
These players have yet to suit up for the Knicks, and will not until October, but the early expectations for how they will perform can begin now.
