New York Knicks: 5 offseason targets to make jump to contender status

Zach LaVine, Chicago Bulls

Zach LaVine is a player that has been on the New York Knicks’ radar before and is likely someone that many teams from around the league are going to check on during the offseason. The Chicago Bulls are heading into an impossible situation during the offseason and it wouldn’t be at all surprising if they elected to make some big changes to their roster. The big question is, if they do intend to change things, would that include moving on from LaVine?

At this point in his career, LaVine could be considered as one of the most overlooked two-way stars in the league. He gets almost no love as a star player and considering that he’s coming off a season in which he averaged 25 points, five rebounds, and four assists per game on 49 percent shooting from the field and 38 percent shooting from 3-point range, that’s insane.

LaVine should be getting more love and perhaps playing for the Knicks would make that happen. LaVine would also fit right in for the need that New York needs. He could be a primary option for the team and he’d have an ample supporting cast around him to help catapult the Knicks up the East standings.
