The Knicks stand as a second-tier team in the Eastern Conference and likely only need an additional bench player to make a more compelling case for being the conference's second top team.

The Knicks possess a player ranked in the top-10 for offense and another in the top-5 for defense, Alongside a player who has achieved All-NBA status in two of the past three years

Plus the premier center duo in the NBA, Supported by highly competent role players, With an abundance of draft assets, And a cap that is effectively managed.

If you are going to start Highsmith as a defender, then bring a double when you recognize he is undersized, then what exactly is the  value there? Randle to the paint, kick out, Knicks 3. Heat down  59-51.

New York Knicks, American professional basketball team based in New York City. The Knicks (which is a shortened version of their official nickname, Knickerbockers)
