6: Trey Burke (2017-19)

Trey Burke was a former lottery pick of the Utah Jazz who was very undersized. He had a decent start to his career but ended up losing minutes to Shelvin Mack and Raul Neto (not a good sign).

He was signed by New York only to be cut and then brought back to the team. After the occasional decent showing, Burke started to display great offensive support off the bench around his 14th game with the Knicks.

Burke remained a force off the bench, averaging around 16 points until the end of the season. He was rewarded with a multi-year contract at the end of the year but was later a part of the package that sent Porzingis to the Mavericks.

5: Jason Kidd (2012-13)

New York caught Jason Kidd at the very tail end of his career. The Knicks watched Kidd tear up the league just across the Hudson River for a decade in New Jersey with the Nets.

After losing to Miami in the playoffs and losing Jeremy Lin to the Houston Rockets, New York decided to gear up for another playoff run by adding veterans to the team. This brought the likes of Kurt Thomas, Marcus Camby, Kenyon Martin, and Kidd to the Knicks.

Kidd brought veteran leadership and stability in the backcourt and was hitting the three very effectively at the beginning of the season.

His form at the 3-point line regressed throughout the year but he was able to help lead New York to its best record of the decade (54-28). He retired after playing just one season with the team.
