NEW YORK — Give Leon Rose credit for this aspect of his roster construction: if the Knicks play well and exceed expectations, they’re in good position to add difference-makers. Real difference-makers. All those first-round draft picks — 11 over the next seven years — are awaiting a trade partner more eager to accept them than Danny Ainge.
The Knicks love to remind us of all their picks.
“We are flush with draft capital,” Rose boasted to the team’s in-house cable station, MSG Network, which is owned by James Dolan.
