Last season, the New York Knicks got another step in the right direction after reaching the Eastern Conference semifinals. However, it’s important to remember they were eliminated as favorites on that round by Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat.

Now, coach Tom Thibodeau has to deliver at least an appearance at the NBA Finals. The Knicks haven’t won a championship since 1973 and, as always, the pressure is on.

As a consequence, New York’s front office has to make some moves in order to compete in the East with the Boston Celtics, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Heat. They’ve just made a massive signing to fulfill that.
