Why The New York Knicks Do The Deal
Meanwhile, the Knicks just need better players.
Some may say they’re playing above their heads. If so, they’ll eventually be in for a rude awakening. Unless they upgrade the roster, that is.
Perhaps a quality floor spacing wing to run alongside Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson would do the trick. If so, Harris is the perfect addition. He can shoot as well as anyone, and create his own shot when need be.
Just as crucially, the Knicks can spare the players they’re giving up here.

Rose has lost his way in this rotation, Hartenstein hasn’t been as effective as Mitchell Robinson, and Toppin has been buried behind Randle throughout his entire NBA career so far.
In sending them out for Harris, the Knicks would be drawing a line – this is a win-now team.
