The New York Knicks have been hovering around .500 for much of the season and there isn’t much hope for them to make much of a surge during the second half of the season. Unless, of course, they make a big move at the trade deadline.

But, still, I don’t think there’s a move to make that would significantly raise the ceiling for their season this year. Because of that, I believe it would be in the best interest of the team to try and get some additional assets for some of the veterans on their roster.

The Knicks are on the right track to competing for a title. But there are a few more steps that need to be taken before they even enter the conversation. Perhaps it would be best if this team took a bit of a step back before they tried to take one forward.
