As the New York Knicks go through the season, the job of the front office is to see how this roster performs together. This team is coming off a solid year last season that saw them break through to reach the Eastern Conference Finals.
But New York fell short of the goal to win a title, and the franchise is trying to stop at nothing until they win it all. This year will be crucial to that fact, especially with the East expected to be a little less competitive due to multiple injuries suffered in the playoffs by other teams.
The time is now for the Knicks to take that next step, but the roster may need just a little more help. But how the front office looks to address things remains to be seen as the year goes on.
With the season having started, the Knicks will need to prove themselves through the East. This Knicks team has talent all across the roster, and with the star power that they have, things could be very fun all year long.
This is just a prediction, NOT a report!

PJ Tucker Will Rejoin the New York Knicks
As the Knicks continue to assess the roster for the season, the front office could always look to bring in another veteran piece to the team. This New York squad saw a lot of success a year ago, and they will be trying to replicate that this time around.
One option for the Knicks could be to bring back a veteran forward who spent time with them toward the end of last season. That would be forward PJ Tucker, who acted like an extension of the head coach for the players.
Tucker didn’t play much with the Knicks, but his presence on the New York bench was huge for this team. The veteran appeared in three games during the regular season, and he put up 3.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, zero assists, and 0.3 steals per game.
If the two sides were to reunite, it could be a solid pairing, giving each some to work with. They both can help each other try to bring a title back to New York, and Tucker can be the veteran that the team needs on the bench.
Adding Tucker to the mix wouldn’t be for on-court purposes, but rather more for another veteran voice in the locker room throughout the season. Tucker has spoken highly about his time with the Knicks, and he would likely be open to a reunion for the upcoming season.
Tucker is just one option for the Knicks front office to consider, and they may prefer someone who could play more minutes during the year. Even with this, Tucker could be a solid addition, and it could have big-time ramifications on the team throughout the season.
