While most believe the New York Knicks would take a more aggressive approach this off-season, they have remained conservative and elected to acquire more draft capital than spend large amounts of cap space on max contracts.
Reports before the draft indicated that the Knicks were open to acquiring bad contracts packaged with draft picks for the future, and while they did do that on a smaller scale, they didn’t really go after names like Chris Paul or Russell Westbrook. This could be viewed as malpractice, or rather the setting of a foundation that focuses on youth development.
