After years of dysfunction, the Knicks have stabilized themselves by making the playoffs in two of the last three seasons. However, they’ve only won a single playoff series during that stretch and are still likely another star player away from becoming a Finals contender.
And it appears the franchise may be on the same page, as they’ve been named previously as a potential landing spot for numerous top names. But more specifically, one NBA analyst believes it is a foregone conclusion that New York adds a star in the near future. Bill Simmons expects one of three star players to end up in New York in the near future.
“They’ll get one of those three guys, I guarantee,” Simmons said on The Bill Simmons Podcast. “Giannis, Embiid, or [Donovan] Mitchell will be on that team a year from now.”
