The New York Knicks have reached a pivotal moment as they seek to bolster their roster after a promising season that ended in the Eastern Conference Finals. With their championship aspirations on the rise, the focus has shifted to improving their bench and possibly replacing center Mitchell Robinson, whose future remains uncertain.

Al Horford of the Boston Celtics has emerged as a prime target. Despite being 39, Horford demonstrated his ability to contribute with averages of 9.0 points and 6.2 rebounds while shooting 36.3% from beyond the arc last season. His versatility could be an asset for a Knicks team striving for deeper playoff success after their first Finals appearance since 2000.
