The Knicks are really big, after getting Bridges, the Knicks got Anunoby again, it is reported that the Knicks will renew Anunoby's contract with a five-year $212 million contract with the second highest salary, I have to sigh, the Knicks are really not bad for money. With Bridges and Anunoby as two defensive giants, the Knicks will inevitably build a bucket-like lineup next season.
The Knicks' operation this summer has fully demonstrated the potential of the giants, and the current Knicks have a star-studded lineup. However, in this seemingly perfect lineup, there is a tangled problem - Randle.
Brunson, DiVincenzo, Hart, Bridges, Anunoby, these guys know this team is not easy to mess with just by looking at the name, but Randle is indeed the biggest problem for the Knicks. Although Randle has a certain performance in the team, from the perspective of overall strategy and lineup coordination, he seems to have become an obstacle in the Knicks' path forward. Knicks management was well aware that cleaning up Randle was necessary to take the team to the next level.
In the Knicks' planning, Randle's No. 1 trade target is Towns. Towns is an interior superstar with excellent scoring ability and rebounding ability, and his arrival will greatly enhance the Knicks' dominance on the inside. If the deal is successful, the Knicks' interior will become indestructible, perfectly matching the firepower of the perimeter, making the team more competitive on both offensive and defensive ends. However, Downs' price is not low, and there are hidden dangers in offense and defense, but at least it is a little better than Randle.
And if he can't succeed in trading for Towns, Capela becomes the Knicks' second target. Capela is known for his excellent rebounding and defensive prowess, and he can provide a solid barrier for the Knicks' interior and inject strength into the team's overall defensive system. Capela can make up for the weakening of the Knicks' interior strength, and the frame protection and defense can also be better, and the price is not expensive, although it is a bit inconsistent with the temperament of the giants, but it is enough.
Of course, whether it is pursuing Towns or Capela, it will require Knicks management to show great intelligence and operational ability in the trade. After all, it is not easy to get the ideal deal, and there are many factors that need to be taken into account, such as the player's wishes, salary match, the team's long-term plans, and so on. Although the current Knicks roster is luxurious enough, in the competitive NBA arena, every detail can make or break a team. By rationalizing Randle's disposition and exchanging for a player who is more suitable for the team's system, it will be a key step on the Knicks' path to a championship.
Of course, the biggest hidden danger of the Knicks is the team's head coach Thibodeau, although the team's performance has been significantly improved, but the injury rate of players is also the highest in the league, his coaching style is unavoidable injuries, and at present, only Big Joe has the opportunity to take Thibodeau's coaching among the players signed by the Knicks or interested players, and the risk of injury to others is very large, which will inevitably affect the team's championship situation.
But it has to be said that in this offseason full of challenges and opportunities, the Knicks have taken brave steps, and the money and good things have also been confirmed by the Green Army. Next, let's wait and see if they can finally realize their championship dreams and write a brilliant chapter for the Knicks.
