After a campaign ruined by injury, here are five takeaways from the New York Knicks’ 2017-18 regular season.
The New York Knicks have wrapped up the 2017-18 NBA season. New York defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road in the season finale, which is a high note to finish the campaign on. However, the 2017-18 season is yet another one in a string of very disappointing ones.
This will be the fifth consecutive year that the Knicks will be missing out on the postseason. For the second consecutive season, New York will see its win total diminish. However, for the first time in a while, there is some hope for the future.
With a new regime in place with Scott Perry at general manager and Steve Mills as president, things are looking up. There are some solid young players on the roster, and at least one more will be added this offseason in the 2018 NBA Draft.
It seems that the Knicks finally have a plan in place they are looking to execute. Perry and Mills have done well in their short time together despite being handicapped by the decisions that Phil Jackson made. Despite limited resources, New York has found some potential pieces for its future without making big money agreements. We’re looking at you, Phil and Joakim Noah.
Despite all of the losing that the Knicks endured this season, there were some positive takeaways. Unfortunately, there were just as many, if not more, negatives that the team went through this season.
Which are the most memorable and impactful? Here are five takeaways from the Knicks’ 2017-18 season.
