New York Knicks

Key additions: Evan Fournier, Kemba Walker 

Many were quick to criticize the New York Knicks’ offseason, but looking back at it as a whole – they improved their roster. From the onset of free agency, it was obvious that the Knicks had a plan and remained patient throughout.

While I still don’t understand the paying of Fournier that much money (4-years,$78 million), they did get Kemba on a huge discount. Even though he’s no longer in the prime of his career, he’s still a really good player and will be an upgrade at the position for the team.

The Knicks may not have made the splash move that perhaps many expected them to try to make, they still did improve the roster and should have enough to remain in the top 8 of the Eastern Conference next season.
