People are downplaying how much better the Eastern Conference has gotten.
Miami, Toronto, Philly, Indy, and Washington—all of whom finished behind the Knicks—should be significantly better than they were this past season.
Yes, I love our core, but the only moves we've made this offseason are losing Mitch, Huk, and Clarkson while only adding a rookie 3-and-D player and a draft-and-stash prospect. Repeats don't happen these days, so if you want to pull one off against all odds, your offseason can't be a net negative.
It's ridiculous not to even consider LeBron because we feel like we got stood up 16 years ago.
With kawhi coming in the fold and us now having a clear direction and timeline we need vets like Kyle anderson who are more serviceable in current form and posses more playoff experience.
