NYK101 with The Professor: The Knicks are better. What’s next?

Welcome to another NYK101, in which we discuss a statement, a question and a suggestion regarding the New York Knicks.

Statement: The Knicks have improved by using all the avenues available to them — the draft, trades and free agency.

There haven’t been many sexy moves or slam dunk acquisitions, but the Leon Rose Knicks have shown an encouraging acumen with all forms of roster-building. Julius Randle was signed with cap space created by unloading Kristaps Porziu0146u0123is, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Courtney Lee two years ago. That transaction preceded Rose, but since Scott Perry belongs to both regimes and needs some extracurriculars on his resume or he may lose his internship, I’m including this move, especially since the Porziu0146u0123is trade literally and symbolically kicked off the Knicks’ latest rebuild.
