CHARLOTTE, N.C. _ In boardrooms and on blackboards it is simple to map out a rebuilding plan, and the Knicks made their plan more than a year ago, plotting out how they would hoard their young assets, players and draft picks and, perhaps most important, clear cap space to be big-time players when the free-agent class of 2019 went on the market.
But those plans that end well in theory don't always come to fruition, so there are turning points. And the Knicks are facing one right now.
With the news, first reported by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, that Rich Paul, the agent for All-Star Anthony Davis, has informed the Pelicans that Davis will not sign an extension with the franchise and wants to be traded, the Knicks must consider just how good their plan is.
