Am I the only one who feels the knicks are overrated even with these moves?
I mean it?s a collection of good role players and no stars. Brunson would be an #3 in Boston. And they have no size with hartenstein basically leaving.
Any team with size will eat them up.
They need to address the frontcourt. But then again, they could probably add someone like Drummond and keep Achiuwa as depth behind Robinson. Yes they'll need to rely on Robinson to stay healthy but they can manage.
NY's biggest issue is health. And it was the same last season. Guys dropped like flies even during the playoff run. Anunoby added another dimension to that team but he couldn't stay healthy for most of it.
Seems to be a pattern with Thibs coached teams. Some of it is bad luck sure.
But when multiple players say it, and it?s happened for different franchises it?s a pattern.
Idk I just feel in any series vs Milwaukee or Boston?..both those teams probably have the 2 best players in the series.
If you account for defense, absolutely. Brunson on the Knicks is kind of like Luka on the Mavs, neither plays any real defense although they are offensively gifted and to their credit have helped their respective teams make deep runs.
I do think New York is a lot more loaded around Brunson though than Doncic with the Mavs. Hart, Randle, OG, Divencenzo, Robinson, etc.
Like yeah, BOS/MIL might have the first two best players, but then after that you could argue NY might have 3 of the next 5 or 4 of the next 6? Especially against MIL, their bench isn't that great and Lopez might not even remain there reportedly.
Lot of offseason left but right now I'd rank the East as Boston then New York Top-2.
