Preseason Opener: 10/3 at The Garden vs the Nets.
Season Opener: 10/19 at OKC.
Last year was every bit of the train wreck that many predicted. The biggest news is obviously that Phil is gone. Thankfully we parted ways with D-Rose too.
Heading into this year, Melo's situation remains the biggest story around the franchise. It doesn't look like he's going anywhere anytime soon. KP's development remains the other big story. Everyone is excited to get our first glimpse of Frank and we brought back Hardaway Jr in one of the most laughed-at moves of the summer.
PG: Frank/Sessions/Jack
SG: Timmy/Lee/Baker/Dotson
SF: Melo/Beas/Kuz
PF: KP/ Lance
C: Willly/Noah/O'Quinn
Others rookies, partial guarantees and camp invitees include Jamel Artis, Nigel Hayes, Luke Kornet, Chasson Randle, Xavier Rathan-Mayes.
This season will certainly not include a trip to the postseason but in true Knick fashion we probably won't be bad enough to land a Top 5 pick. It's still an important season as KP will have his first crack at being the alpha dog while we will find out if we added another key piece in Frank or if we swung and missed with that pick. We'll find out if Noah's career is essentially over or if he can give us 20 minutes a night. What will Willy give us in his expanded role? We might have found a rotation piece in Dotson. Was Timmy a product of ATL's system or did we make a reasonably smart signing?
What are your thoughts heading into the season?
