The New York Knicks were busy, to say the least, this offseason. They are a completely different team than they were last year. They certainly should win more than 17 games, and most likely more than 32.

Just how good the Knicks can be all depends on their health.

They Knicks are following the same strategy from the 2012-13 54-win season: a mix of veterans surrounding Carmelo Anthony with some youngsters to round out the roster. The Knicks were ripped by the media when they made the moves to sign Jason Kidd, Kurt Thomas, Marcus Camby, and so forth.

The Knicks are again being ripped for assembling a team that could have won the tile in 2011.

These grades were determined by analyzing the contracts, the player’s injury history, and the player itself. They may not reflect their final grades, however, as the season has yet to start.

This is Jackson’s ensemble cast. Next season will be interesting.
