It’s June 18th. The Knicks still don’t have a head coach. Despite this, the front office also needs to prepare for the upcoming offseason. The NBA Draft begins in seven days, free agency begins in 12 days, and the new league year begins in just under three weeks.
Aside from the highly publicized and ridiculously scrutinized coaching search, the biggest news surrounding the Knicks since they were eliminated at the end of May is the possibility of making a big trade for the second consecutive offseason and shaking up an admittedly flawed core.
The player saga of the early offseason revolves around Kevin Durant and his likely departure from the overwhelming failure that has been the Phoenix Suns under Mat Ishbia.
