The New York Knicks must make some crucial choices as the NBA trade deadline on Feb. 5 approaches. There is a lot of talk about Karl-Anthony Towns and the Knicks, who are looking for ways to upgrade their roster after falling into a slump.

Rick Brunson’s growing influence within the Knicks has had some unintended consequences. The assistant coach, to his credit, is not a nepotism hire, despite his son Jalen Brunson being the best player on the team.

The New York Knicks are in a desperate situation, having to demonstrate that their 120-66 win over the Brooklyn Nets was not a fluke. The team will travel to Philadelphia after the most lopsided victory in the history of the franchise, but the 76ers are a totally different team than the Nets.
Despite the New York Knicks’ historic 120-66 spanking of the crosstown rival Brooklyn Nets, things still don’t feel completely settled. Admittedly, that’s a tough ask for a team that lost nine of its last 11 games while coming into the season as the Eastern Conference favorites.
