Summary
On today’s episode, Jason discusses what's next for the New York Knicks after they were unceremoniously bounced out of the playoffs over the weekend. Do the Knicks need to consider flipping Karl-Anthony Towns for a more defensive-minded center? Are they overpaying wings OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges? Can New York build a legitimate championship contender around diminutive point guard Jalen Brunson? Should they dump head coach Tom Thibodeau? How does Giannis Antetokounmpo factor into all of this? J-Mac has the answer to all of those questions - and more!
