New York sports fans are used to big moves. The Yankees are always (well used to) making moves for big name players. The Giants and Jets are always looking to improve their roster, or in the Jets case get the biggest name out there. We all know the moves the Brooklyn Nets made this summer and how they improved. Even the New York Knicks’ roomies the New York Rangers shook up their championship contending roster by adding dynamic goal scorer Rick Nash. If you don’t go get the superstars in New York you become irrelevant.
The Knicks have made their big move, probably the biggest in their franchise’s history, two trade deadlines ago when they acquired Carmelo Anthony. Before the Knicks traded for Anthony, they of course signed Amar’e Stoudemire, their first headline player in the decade. A few months later, the Knicks signed Tyson Chandler, completing their quest for big names while eating up most of their salary cap. The Knicks are pretty much set and due to them making these big moves the past 3 seasons, they can’t make a big splash for a player like Rudy Gay or DeMarcus Cousins, nor would they have any use for them.
