Sign of Hope for the Kings: New York Knicks Playoff Run

As the playoffs continue, the Sacramento Kings continue their work on the sidelines, with Scott Perry and Doug Christie facing an extremely challenging road ahead.

While Sacramento has been out of the postseason since their play-in loss to the Dallas Mavericks, Scott Perry's most recent team is about to start a battle to make it to the Championship; the New York Knicks.

The Knicks took down the reigning champion Boston Celtics to set up a series against the Indiana Pacers, and while Perry hasn't been employed by the Knicks since the end of the 2022-23 season, but there's no denying that he helped set up the Knicks for long-term success while he led the front office.

Perry's two main acquisitions for the Knicks were Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle. While Randle is no longer with the team, Brunson is cementing himself as one of the games biggest playoff stars, hitting clutch shot after clutch shot to lead the Knicks to the conference finals.

And even though Randle is no longer on the team, he joins Brunson and the Knicks as one of the final four teams as the Minnesota Timberwolves await the winner of the Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder.

Randle was instrumental in getting Karl Anthony-Towns to New York, from both a contract and talent perspective. Thanks to a talented roster that could be fine-tuned to continue to improve, the Knicks were able to trade for players like Towns, Mikal Bridges, and OG Anunoby.

Everything ties back to the Knicks developing a culture and foundation under Perry, which is everything he and Christie have talked about since their opening press conference.
