The time has come over and over again when the New York Knicks have needed to find a point guard. It has been the case for what feels like decades, but the franchise has been unable to find a stable option and could prioritize doing so in the NBA offseason.
Last year, the Knicks signed Kemba Walker to what they thought was going to be a steal of a contract in free agency. Walker was shipped to the Oklahoma City Thunder and quickly bought out.
The Knicks thought they were taking advantage of a veteran point guard on a team-friendly deal, but it turned out to be a bad situation for both sides. It was yet another disappointing season four the next as they missed the playoffs.
Now, there should be some changes in the roster as New York continues to attempt to build a winner in the Eastern Conference. The point guard position will be high on the priorities list.
