After spending much of the past decade in the Eastern Conference bunker, the New York Knicks are amid a major revival that could spark the arrival of an All-NBA level talent.
According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, the Knickerbockers could welcome a star player to their roster in as soon as a few months.
“I say within the next 12 months a star, slash, superstar player demands a trade to New York. And I don’t know who it’s going to be. I have some guesses. I’m not going to say right here. I’ll let you guys start thinking about that.”
