The New York Knicks have the luxury of creating plenty of flexibility regarding salary space to sign free agents if that is what they desire. This upcoming class could end up being fantastic, but depending on what Kawhi Leonard and Chris Paul do with their player options, it could also end up being disappointing.
That is why a rumor is circulating that the front office is considering waiting until the 2022 off-season to allocate their available funds. However, they will have the most cap space this off-season out of any team, which should suggest they add a few quality players to help make a positive step forward after earning a postseason appearance during the 2020-21 season.
