When the New York Knicks are good, the NBA is a better place. The Knicks should be good. New York lives and breathes basketball.
Luckily, this season, they’ve been treated to a quality product. The Knicks are good, even if they aren’t necessarily on the level of a genuine title contender yet.
Currently, they’re down 2-1 to the Miami Heat in the second round. This is further than anybody expected them to advance in 2022-23.
With that said RJ Barrett’s play has been inconsistent. He’s definitely flashed potential.
Still, as a win-now team, the Knicks could consider trading him if they want to take another step forward next season.
Could they send him to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Zach LaVine?
