https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/knicks-nba-biggest-surprise-biggest-disappointment/afwdtesbdjpu2mjpj0k5gte9

Rose had bone spurs removed. Comes back strong!

Nerlens had a season to recover from multiple ailments.

Taj is getting better every year. May lead the league in 3’s made.

Randle comes out of his funk. Baby and and too many changes for him to deal with last season.

EF was actually playing better defense towards the end of the year.

IQ and Obi keep improving.

Grimes has a breakout year.

RJ figures out how to finish at the rim consistently. And hit free throws.

Jericho Sims becomes the first player to bang his head on the shot clock.

Kemba moves to backup PG. On another team.

We trade the farm for Lillard and win 10 games.

Like your propositions and perspective of knicks "If"s

Unsure the defensive minded Nerlens is going to be anymore non-durable as Mitchel Robinson, SO Knicks may need to plug that
soon, since Mitch is expected not to be back. Nerlens can't stay on the floor but when healthy I like his effort, wit & grit like Clyde says.

The three major issues I saw in last year's team are 1) Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier's defense bringing down the entire starting unit. Fournier showed improvement as the year went on. Not sure if removing Walker and replacing with Burks is enough. How they fill the PG role will be important. 2) Derrick Rose's (and Alec Burk's) value to the second unit if only the Coach's trust in the second unit needs to be considered. The minutes the first unit played were exceptional in my opinion and may have detracted from the team's overall performance. In 20/21, the 2nd unit was the team MVP - and that seemed to be the same in 21-22 (looking at Overall Plus Minus as the indicator. 3) All of this intended to say that the first unit doesn't really work right now. PG is open. SG has defensive holes. SF and PF are in a battle for ball control and C is to become an unrestricted free agent.

The reason for hope is that we know the starting lineup doesn't work and that the second unit does. To me, that is a personnel problem, not a coaching problem. I hope to see modifications to the starting unit that will eliminate all of the 3 problems above. That's not a clear path to victory, but a reason to hope we will improve versus last year. For me, hope lies in change.
