The Knicks already proved they can win an NBA championship behind Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Josh Hart. But after going back through the roster, the playoff run, and the decisions New York now faces, the duo believes there are still several ways this Knicks team can get even better. XJ and Geoff discuss why OG Anunoby may be capable of an All-NBA-level leap, how the Knicks can make better use of Mikal Bridges, why Jalen Brunson’s off-ball impact deserves more attention, and how Mike Brown can use the regular season to experiment with new offensive actions instead of simply running back everything that worked during the championship run. The duo also breaks down the Knicks’ backup center situation, whether James Wiseman or Mohamed Diawara can become meaningful rotation pieces, what New York should do with Andre Drummond, and why the Knicks may eventually need to make another move at center. The two also get into the looming contract decisions involving Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart, and Miles McBride, including why XJ believes Deuce McBride will eventually be traded, whether Josh Hart is actually more replaceable than people think, and how the Knicks can keep their championship window open while navigating the NBA’s second apron.
