Heck, fans and friends, are you like me, you can't help but itch every time you see these NBA headlines? I mean, five first-round picks! Three swap rights! Isn't this the big move we've been waiting for? Of course, as sports fans, we always look forward to a great draft vision from the big teams, but sometimes I really laugh when I look at these Eastern Conference team options.
Let's take a look at the Knicks first, this is a traditional giant, but the draft is simply "dark clouds". Alas, sigh! They repeatedly miss the draft, just like an aunt visiting the vegetable market and picking tomatoes, and they always can't catch the good ones. Nellikina was drafted in 2017 and missed out on Smith and Adebayo, and Knox in 2018 and Barrett in 2019 ......This series of choices is simply "outside the gold and jade, and the defeat is in it"!
But don't be discouraged, the Knicks didn't climb all the way through the draft. They have a group of discerning contract experts. Look at them with 4 years 10.4 billion signed Brunson, 4 years 1Randle, who signed for 1.7 billion, and DiVincenzo who came from the trade, are simply "turning their hands into clouds and turning their hands into rain", bringing the team from the mud to the top in an instant.
What's even more interesting is that the Knicks don't just rely on signings, they are also masters of trades. They traded Barrett for Anunoby, which was a huge "deal". It's like Xiao Ming changed Xiaohong's alarm clock, but it turned out to be a brand new game console, which is simply a big profit!
Speaking of which, the Knicks' progress in recent years has been really quite impressive. With the arrival of new coach Thibodeau, they have changed their soul and are steadily improving every year. Think about how embarrassed they were in previous seasons, but now, even the best teams in the East have to be cautious.
I have to warn you, though, that the Knicks' success wasn't purely coincidental. They have always maintained a flexible salary structure, which means that they can play to their heart's content in the transfer market. Imagine if James or Brother Alphabet really considered joining the Knicks, it would be really "like a tiger with wings"!
However, we can't ignore the fact that the future of the Knicks is challenging. While they have five first-round picks and three swap options, that doesn't mean everything falls into place. After all, there's no guarantee that the next draft pick won't be like a rollover, and maybe the next Brunson is just around the corner!
So, just like the Knicks' management, we have to keep our heads above water and take every opportunity. Sometimes, success is like standing at a crossroads, and you never know what surprises await you next.
Having said all that, what do you think? Do you think the Knicks' strategy is correct? Which stars are you looking forward to joining the Knicks in the future? Leave a message to tell me, let's ** together!
