If you said Jalen Brunson is the best PG in the league I wouldn't argue with you. I like Bridges, I love OG and I love the head coaching change.... Yes, they are legit contenders

The additions of Yabusele, Clarkson and Brogdon all fill in exactly what I and I assume many others thought the Knicks were missing last year. Depth, I legit at times (as a heat fan) felt so bad for Bruson seeing the level and intensity he and the starters were playing at XD. I really think this depth could make an insane difference. Also hold up Mcbride is like a baby Brunson clone or smth

Now... Hear me out, Kat is a good player.. A very good player. But I genuinely don't like him as a playoff big. I'd be more scared of this years Knicks with Randle at the 4. I remember last year there were minutes without Kat with Robinson instead and I felt the team looked a lot better. Yes the scoring is insane but I think Brunson is good enough along with the other pieces.

I think my main point is Kat MAX player through the regular season but i've seen him be too much of a liability in the Playoffs, Hey they might change with playing less minutes... But I just imagine that money on another more rounded big. Screw it throw in Sabonis there and use the other 9 million on another depth piece and I think that team wins 60-65 games + maybe a hot take sorry for Kat tangent XD

Bottom line is I like this team and think they are even better suited than last year, Keen to see if they severely change play-style.

Player to watch is Brunson (MVP) he is that good, the Knicks will need to be extremely good for it to manifest

Overall rating is a 8.9
