New York Knicks could be a dark horse landing spot for Bradley Beal

What Bradley Beal gives the New York Knicks on the court

While the fans of the Knicks might be worried about the ransom they forked out for Bradley Beal, his value is worth way more than the players and pick they have handed out. Bradley Beal has undeniable skill on the basketball court that will light up Madison Square Garden.

His scoring last season was elite and you can expect the same Bradley Beal to catch fire in MSG. He gives the New York Knicks a focal point who the entire squad can look to as their leader and they can learn from, something the New York Knicks have been starved of for quite a long period of time.

While Coach Thibs will give the young Knicks a leader on the sideline, a veteran voice, and a former NBA champion with the Boston Celtics (as an assistant), Beal offers the on-court leader who the likes of Mitchell Robinson, Frank Ntilikina, and Dennis Smith Jr. can look to and who can set an example for the young Knicks.

Beal brings swag back to the Garden that has not been there since the Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudamire Knicks. You could argue Porzingis brought that swag back but it’s a touchy subject for some Knicks fans. Let’s move on.

Having a Steph Curry-Esque scorer in Beal is exactly what New York needs, someone who provides entertainment, who can catch fire, and who can put the franchise on his back.

With John Wall constantly in the medical room, Beal has most certainly been carrying the Washington Wizards on his back and has done a great job.

But the most important factor to the Knicks trading for Bradley Beal is not on the floor, it is what the Knicks can do with the presence of a Star on the roster.
