3 stars the New York Knicks should look to acquire in the future

For years now, the lack of success for the New York Knicks has caused a once historic franchise to plummet to the bottom of the NBA and become the laughing stock of the entire league. Poor management over the years and an owner who could care less about the success of his franchise has completely run the Knicks into the ground, but GM Scott Perry and new President of Basketball Operations, Leon Rose, have been doing a decent job at mending some of the damages from previous executives and have things trending upwards. 

The Knicks drafted RJ Barrett No. 3 overall in the 2019 NBA Draft and he has all the makings of being the face of this franchise and an All-Star down the road. This offseason, the Knicks drafted Obi Toppin from Dayton and now, at every position, the Knicks finally have some young, core pieces to start building with. 

RJ Barrett, Obi Toppin, and Mitchell Robinson are the three best young talents on this roster, and you can even throw in Dennis Smith Jr. and Julius Randle as potential younger talents that New York could look to keep around long-term. Overall, this roster is not terrible and while they may not be in playoff contention yet, they are definitely primed to make a move in future free agencies and on the trade market.

Over the years, no big name, NBA All-Star level talent has legitimately wanted to go to the Knicks because of their lack of success. Nobody wants to lose in this league, especially NBA All-Star level talents. By proving that they can win, the Knicks can easily attract several high-level talents because of the market they are in.

Plenty of players around the league would probably love to play for the Knicks if they can prove they can be a successful organization moving forward and all it takes is for the first domino to fall. The Knicks need to make a splash sooner than later and acquire a star either through trade or through free agency next offseason.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at 3 star players the New York Knicks should look to acquire either this season or down-the-road.
