Despite the misery that has clouded the franchise in recent seasons, there are legitimate reasons to be optimistic for the future of New York Knicks basketball. The roster is brimming with young, controllable talent from which the team can build upon, and the front office seems to have finally found individuals capable of making logical decisions.
That being said, early optimism tends to appear more deceitful than it does legitimate when it comes to the Knicks faithful, who are all too familiar with previous squads unable to live up to early expectations.
While I acknowledge that placing faith in these Knicks is likely to lead me to eventual disappointment, I do believe it is necessary to discuss what the current roster is capable of accomplishing, and it is temptingly scary to consider.
