Knicks expected to make another move after recent free-agent addition

New York has multiple tradeable assets at their disposal, with Miles McBride and Tyler Kolak among the most likely to be dangled in trade discussions. 

The New York Knicks have improved their biggest weakness

Last season, the Knicks ranked dead last for bench points per game, with an average of 21.7. Some of those struggles were down to Tom Thibodeau's over-reliance on the top 6 of his rotation. However, the lack of genuine depth on the Knicks roster also played a part.

This summer, New York has added Brodgon, Guerschon Yabusele and Jordan Clarkson while also re-signing Shamet. The bench unit has been drastically improved, with scoring now at a premium throughout the roster. 

If both Brogdon and Shamet stick with the roster heading into the new season, Brown will have endless roster combinations he can explore. 

Adding Malcolm Brogdon is a low-risk strategy 

Brogdon has struggled with injuries throughout his career. The former Rookie and Sixth Man of the Year has played in 63 of 164 regular-season games in recent years. However, if the Knicks can manage his playing time and keep him on the court, he will be a major boost to their half-court offense.

Signing Brogdon to what is likely a non-guaranteed minimum deal means the Knicks haven't put too much at stake with his addition. If it works out, they would have gotten a steal. If not, they're no worse off and can part ways next summer.

New York came into the summer with a clear weakness in the roster construction. Now, they head into the new season as one of the biggest contenders for the Larry O'Brien trophy. 

It's a great time to be a Knicks fan.
