I don't agree. Knicks are very nicely set up for a trade with a bunch of assets. The team has a nice foundation, what they need is a superstar. And in order to attract that superstar, they need to show they have a nice foundation to become an immediate contender. As in principle attractive location, they can build through trades or free agency. Summer of 2023-24 they can look for a trade or have a lot of cap space again in 24-25.
I would clame, Knicks have been decently smart lately, accumulating assets for the right opportunity. Of course they still need to make that opportunity happen.
