Can the bench sustain this kind of production the rest of the year?

The trade deadline is in a month, the FO can still make a move to solidify the Knicks' playoff push or to make them legitimate title contenders. The past couple of games we saw the knicks bench finally show up specially offensively. Grime's shot is slowly returning to form, Deuce is showing everyone why the FO is so high on him and gave him an extension.

If the bench can sustain this level of play should the FO still make improvements with the bench like trading for Brogdan or Clarkson or even Murray? Bringing in 1 more rotation player might upset the team's balance. Should the FO just gamble and stamd pat and let this current team grow?

Probably not. Grimes and Deuce play so well when they are playing loose. They fire away and aren’t afraid to improvise. Deuce is playing the style he played during Gleague finally. Unfortunately Knicks will play good teams and especially in the playoffs grimes and deuce won’t play with this level of freedom. The game tightens up and guys like them (and Quickley last year) play a different style. But maybe they can figure out how to keep it going. I will say that watching this bench, it’s clear the biggest weakness is still up front. Achiuwa is pretty bad and maybe the Knicks simply decide to trade for a big man that gives them a little offense instead of messing with the bench backcourt.
