Overview
- The Knicks hired former Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown to replace Tom Thibodeau and introduce greater offensive flexibility.
- After last season’s bench struggles limited their playoff ceiling, New York added power forward Guerschon Yabusele and guard Jordan Clarkson to strengthen its reserve rotation.
- Michael Pina of The Ringer recommends signing Malcolm Brogdon, the 2023 Sixth Man of the Year, to provide two-way stability in the second unit.
- Pina also endorses bringing in sharp-shooting forward Amir Coffey to boost perimeter scoring off the bench.
- New York could use its bi-annual exception to acquire these veteran free agents without compromising salary-cap flexibility.
