In New York City, many people can now say that the Brooklyn Nets run New York. This is due to recent free agent acquisitions and ticket sales rising. The New York Knicks are still the laughing stock of the NBA, with no big name moves and bad luck at the recent draft lottery. They landed Duke guard RJ Barrett with the third overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft, but they failed to provide a supporting cast for him.

The Knicks’ fan base also thinks that the team will land specific players. In the last offseason, many thought they were going to land Zion Williamson in the draft, along with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant in free agency.

However, this failed because New Orleans landed the number one pick, Zion Williamson. They also failed to offer Kevin Durant a contract due to injury concerns. The owner of the Knicks, James Dolan, is probably one of the most controversial team owners. Some fans even think that he should sell the team.

To solve this, Dolan should take more risks on big-name players. Additionally, fans should stop getting their hopes up on one player, since there is a risk that they will not get drafted.
