This approach by the New York Knicks should excite several teams around the league that are struggling to stay below the luxury tax. The Knicks will be happy to absorb a bad contract if the teams package it with draft picks that will help them in the future.
NBA Trade Rumors: Acquiring more draft picks would help the Knicks fast-track their rebuild process
It is interesting to note that the New York Knicks had a contrasting approach during the beginning of last season. Entering the 2019 season, the Knicks were looking for big names and weren't interested in acquiring any players who didn't want to be a part of the organization. This new approach will certainly add more young talent around their stars, RJ Barrett and Mitchell Robinson.
The New York Knicks have the 4th pick in the upcoming 2020 NBA Draft. If they manage to acquire more draft picks, they would have multiple promising youngsters on their roster next year who might help them to fast-track their rebuild process.
