The moment the Knicks beat the Spurs to win this year’s NBA championship, the offseason began. And it’s primed to be an eventful one.
As is the case with each summer around the Association, there are rumors abound surrounding big names that could very well preclude even bigger trades. Player movement is part of what makes the NBA such a fun sport to follow, even when the games aren’t being played. And the last few offseasons have seen numerous, significant transactions that would go on to shape the championship race the following season. Last year Kevin Durant went to the Rockets to give them the scoring they desperately needed (even if it didn’t prove enough). The year before the Knicks landed Karl-Anthony Towns as a laying of the foundation for their championship this year. The year before that, the Celtics completely rearranged the supporting cast around Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, a series of moves that launched them to their own title.
