Big loss for Kentucky. Best assistant coach in the country. I know Kevin and Julius are dreading those Kenny Payne workouts

These sources are like a broken record.

We suck, that's the only answer.

Winning solves everything... just 2 seasons ago nobody wanted to go to BK

Let's say, hypothetically, if RJ continues to improve, Mitch takes another step forward and we draft a stud or we get CP3/Vanvleet and win 40+ games, the media wouldn't say shyt about Dolan. Matter of fact, we start winning games they'd briefly talk about it since there wouldn't be no fukkery attached. They'd be on some deliver a backhanded compliment to Rose and switch the subject.

They overstating the obvious... We've already seen that we are not a top FA destination, so the focus has to be on drafting and player development. Look at Denver and Toronto; they didn't have any big FA signings. The cats you see balling for them now were all developed in-house. Once we can get a good base of young players, that will be attractive to players. Dolan will still be a liability, but if it looks like we know what we're doing in terms of developing talent, we could overcome that.

It's really frustrating that they always default to this. Kenny Payne put in work for a long time to get here and as much as his recruiting chops have been lauded; the love he gets from players is due to his abilities as a coach. Specifically, his ability to develop players. That's exactly what the Knicks have been looking for and it ties in nicely with a young, rebuilding roster.

This is what they need along with Perry's role being minimized to just scouting.

Knicks offseason guide

Key details

• The draft: Three picks in top 38
  
  
• Free agency: Cap flexibility vs. valuing their own players
  
  
• Young draft picks on the roster: time for patience
  
  
• Salary-cap breakdowns, dates to watch and restrictions

What's next for the Knicks?
The New York Knicks essentially started their offseason in early March when they hired Leon Rose to run basketball operations. Now, almost five months later, Rose's first big move is the hiring of head coach Tom Thibodeau. Both are tasked with turning around a Knicks team that has not made the playoffs since 2013.

But New York checks the boxes when it comes to rebuilding: cap flexibility, young players and draft assets.

Let's look ahead to the free-agency, draft and trade decisions facing New York this coming offseason.


Note: The financials in here are based on the salary cap and luxury tax holding at the 2019-20 levels, as expected.



The draft: Three picks in top 38
For Rose, the first major opportunity to shape the Knicks' roster starts on Oct. 16 with the draft.

New York has three picks in the top 38 with which it can add to its collection of young players or look to trade for future assets and players ready to contribute now. With weeks to go before the draft, Rose and his new staff will have a thorough process that includes virtual interviews, background checks and medical and psychological evaluations. (One thing not mentioned is individual workouts. New York will have to rely on scouting reports from the season and study each prospect on video).

The draft prep will leave the Knicks with the following questions to sort out:

• 
  
  
  • Are we comfortable staying around No. 5, if that's where we hold in the lottery?
  • What is the cost of moving into the top three, and is it worth it?
  • In trade talks, are the future first-round picks (2021 and 2023) from Dallas on the table or not?
  • With our lottery pick, do we draft for need or take the best available prospect?
  • Is it worth exploring packaging No. 27 and No. 38 to move up into the late teens?
  • Do we trade out of the second round for future assets?
  • Should a team with six players age 25 or under keep all three picks?

The draft assets
The Knicks own all their future first-round picks.

Here's how ESPN's Jonathan Givony and Mike Schmitz have New York selecting in October:

• 
  
  
  • No. 6 (own): Deni Avdija | SF | Maccabi Tel Aviv
  • No. 27 (via LAC): Vernon Carey Jr. | C | Duke
  • No. 38 (via CHA): Tre Jones | PG | Duke

The Knicks have a 2021 unprotected first from the Mavericks. In 2023, Dallas will send New York a top-10 protected first. The pick has top-10 protections in 2024 and 2025. The Knicks also have the right to swap first-round picks (top-four protected) in 2021 with the Clippers.
