The New York Knicks' season ended disappointingly against the Indiana Pacers, marking their first Eastern Conference Finals appearance since 2000. Despite strong playoff performances, particularly against the Boston Celtics, issues arose as the Pacers successfully targeted the Knicks' depth weaknesses. Following this setback, the Knicks made a shocking move by firing head coach Tom Thibodeau after five seasons, fueling speculation of a significant offseason overhaul.

Adding to the intrigue, rumors swirl around Karl-Anthony Towns, who was acquired just weeks before the season began. A recent Instagram post from Jalen Brunson, coupled with fan sentiments, hints at a potential exit for Towns. However, considering the investment made in acquiring him, it’s difficult to envision the Knicks parting ways so soon. The team needs to address depth concerns and may look to build around their core more effectively next season.
