The New York Knicks are going to have a choppy offseason. Arrived at the head of this formation last March, the president Leon Rose will have to prove itself. And above all, he must make the right choices in order to revive this team. During reconstruction, the Knicks are the subject of many rumors.
Only in these last days Chris Paul (Oklahoma City Thunder), Carmelo Anthony (free) or Russell Westbrook (Houston Rockets) were announced in the franchise sights.
If New York will indeed be active this offseason, Rose obviously wants to keep a certain consistency. So, according to information from SNY, all movements will be performed around a player: RJ Barrett.
The 5 stars the New York Knicks dream of
Selected for the # 3 pick of the 2019 NBA Draft, the Canadian represents the future of the Knicks. After a decent rookie year (14.3 points, 5 rebounds and 2.6 assists on average), the young 20-year-old talent has a good margin of progress.
And with New York’s current inability to recruit a superstar, it seems logical to designate Barrett as the cornerstone of the project. Thus, the Knicks want players who can showcase the qualities of the native of Toronto. And above all, they do not want to hinder its progress.
On paper, the arrival of a leader like Chris Paul could help RJ Barrett flourish. It remains to be seen whether this plan will pay off …
