NY Knicks: 2 steps to create a Beal, Randle, Drummond Big-3

This is being written the morning after the NY Knicks‘ depressing loss to the Brooklyn Scott Foster’s (haha) and it just makes me want the front office to upgrade so badly and start to really compete now by adding Bradley Beal and Andre Drummond.

The Knicks are at this point where when they’re 100% healthy, they can compete with anyone in the East but are going to take their lumps when facing the top-3 teams.

This needs to change fast.

I see a team that has a championship-caliber defense, but an offense that gets shut down more often than not.

My main concern is that Julius Randle while playing out of his mind this year, is truly no better than the 2nd best player on a Championship-winning roster.

We need to find a Batman to Randle’s Robin and then some.

Bradley Beal, Julius Randle, and Andre Drummond on the NY Knicks?

This is what brings me to this article…if I’m the Knicks, I’m trading for Bradley Beal this year and finding a way to acquire Andre Drummond or LaMarcus Aldridge.

There were rumors that Coach Thibodeau wanted to trade both RJ Barrett and Mitchell Robinson for seasoned veterans before the year began, so it’s obvious this team is trying to compete today.

By no means should they get desperate to compete and make the same mistakes they made when they traded for Carmelo Anthony.

But Coach Thibs is a proven commodity and well-respected across the league, he deserves a chance to run a team capable of seriously competing come playoff time.

The question Knicks fans must ask themselves is “Is Tom Thibodeau a coach for a rebuilding roster focused on development?”

The easy answer is no.

Here we’ll be discussing the 2 steps necessary for the Knicks to create a Big-3 this season and becoming a legitimate contender in the East.
