3 Tough offseason decisions Knicks will be forced to make

1. To trade RJ Barrett, or to not

Entering his fourth season, it seemed like all the cards were on the table for RJ Barrett to finally have a breakout year. Instead, Barrett arguably had a much worse season than he did the year prior, struggling to work next to Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson.

Not only did Barrett seemingly forget how to shoot the ball, but he also had notable declines in both his playmaking and defense. This made it so that when his shots weren’t falling, Barrett really wasn’t doing much on the floor.

While Barrett managed to pick his play up come playoff time, is it really worth banking the team’s future based on one playoff run? Fans may have faith in Barrett to improve, but for him to magically become a consistent offensive player over the offseason is a lot to ask.

Maybe he will prove his doubters wrong, but for now, don’t be surprised if you see Leon Rose dangle Barrett’s name around in trade talks this offseason. If they can get a star two-way player, things could really change for the Knicks.
