Warriors' Champion Reveals What Knicks Must do This Offseason to Become Title Contenders

A key reason was the fact that they lacked true roster depth and Thibodeau also failed to use his bench as much as some would have liked.

Now the Knicks enter the offseason with some key decisions to make regarding their roster and Golden State Warriors champion Draymond Green recently revealed what New York must do this summer to become title contenders.

“(New York) didn’t quite have the depth. They need to add a great player if you think they’re gonna compete for an actual NBA championship,” Green said.

This is a bold statement by Green but one that makes sense and has also been said a lot since the Knicks’ playoff exit.

Of course, the Knicks need to upgrade their bench this summer but they could also look to add another star player like Green hinted at, though he did not name who they should go after.

New York has been linked to many different players entering the offseason but they continue to be brought up as a potential landing spot for both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant, both of whom could help the Knicks become contenders.

Despite this, New York first has to find a new head coach and then they will have to decide if they want to run it back with the current lineup that they have or make some moves to acquire another star player.
