New York Knicks: The Essential Knicks Offseason Survival Guide
By Eric Snyder
Patience Is A Virtue
It may be a long road before Knicks fans see their team travel deep into the NBA playoffs. Surviving such a long journey will require certain skills to make the trip slightly more tolerable.
In every fan base there are impatient sofa prognosticators using an XBox or PS4 to fix their team. Many fans (myself included) have found ways to rebuild the Knicks in one year on NBA2K 17. However, in the real NBA world change happens at a slower pace.
First and foremost, before any other ideas about the Knicks, fans must be ready to wait. The team can only get better from here, with or without Carmelo. Yet, this improvement will be incremental over the next two seasons at least.
The playoffs could happen next year, but no one should expect such success.
