Before this move the Knicks were one of the most intriguing teams this season. Now that they are looking for a general manager it gives them more buzz. All Knicks fans will be asking for a general manager that can get them a championship roster.
The Knicks do not have a first round pick in this summer’s draft, but they have their own first round choice for the next six drafts. They also have four additional first rounders from previous trades. Those can help them if they want to do a trade in the future. They have young talent that can be traded if they want a star. Some players could be Immanuel Quickley, Mitchell Robinson, Quentin Grimes and RJ Barrett.

Over the past decade getting a star to New York City has been a difficult task. They do have the assets and players to make a trade if everything lines up right. All of this would depend on the stars that will be available this offseason and how much management will be willing to put together packages. The new general manager will have a lot in front of them to work with.
The Knicks finished 47-35 before defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round. Then lost in six games to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
