The New York Knicks are 13-36 and are on the verge of missing the playoffs once again. Where have we heard this before?

If you want to put this in a positive light, the New York Knicks are only five wins away from exceeding last season’s total. The reason being a increased level of veteran talent. But let’s be honest, is this group getting the Knicks to at least a first round exit?

The answer is no. The Knicks would be better off spending their season developing their younger players more and not limiting 2018 7th overall pick Kevin Knox to 18 minutes per game.

Where is this going you might ask? The trade deadline is rapidly approaching and it’s evident the Knicks are going to look to move some pieces, and I’m here to tell you what they should and should not do.
