The Knicks ended a 53-year championship drought earlier this month, capping a dominant postseason by winning 16 of 19 playoff games en route to the crown.
Can they get back there? It will be more difficult — there will be more teams in an improved Eastern Conference that can get in their way.
There are also internal roster questions. Owner James Dolan said in an appearance on WFAN that the Knicks won’t go into the second apron, which will limit their ability to keep free agents such as Mitchell Robinson and Landry Shamet. Jose Alvarado is coming back, agreeing to a three-year, $15 million deal to return.
Considering how important the Knicks’ bench was to their title run, Dolan’s proclamation will make free agency a tricky task for Leon Rose and the front office.
