70% Informative

The Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder aren’t just deep, young, and fearless — they’re built for the long haul.

Indiana won in two areas: bench and coaching.

The Knicks need to replicate the foresight and flexibility fueling Indiana and OKC .

New York no longer has draft capital to spare, nor have cap flexibility to chase upgrades.

The Knicks control pick No. 50 via Memphis by way of OKC .

They don’t have cap space to sign free agents, but they can exceed the cap using the mid-level exception ($ 5.65 M) or a veteran’s minimum contract.

Delon Wright , Landry Shamet , Kevin McCullar Jr. , MarJon Beauchamp , and Anton Watson all fall into that category.
