Why The New York Knicks Do The Deal
By contrast, the Knicks are far removed from lottery considerations. They’d have to overhaul their roster to tank.
If they were going to do that, they would have done it this year. There is no Wembanyama in the next draft. Of course, there will be solid talent – but there is not expected to be a player we’d deem “generational”.

Besides the number one pick in the draft, of course.
