So it might be tough to keep him and go over the second apron. It’s going to make things really interesting and hard to keep everyone.
If Mo is deemed worthy, then he pushed someone up and out. There will be changes. Not eveyrone will be back. It creates opportunities like MO, KOLEK, and perhaps Dadiet who is getting looks of late.
Someone won't be back. someone will be traded. Shitty teams will absorb via trade to close a gap (parity) and offer back picks or yoot.
Not just knicks doing this btw. Look at how Celtics changed from last year and seemingly did not lose a step? Low draft pick Jenkins making impact on Detroit? Rockets were awful for a time then moved up the timeline with Durant. They are succeeding and perhaps if not for injuries might have been even better. But they are relevant, winning, and fans like it.
OKC getting PG13 then resigning him created the incredible bounce to a chip in 3 years. The velocity of change is far greater in this era. Knicks could find themselves in decline sooner than we think. We made conf finals last year. The window was there. Its still open. How much longer? The era makes it harder to keep it going without a refresh of sorts.
