The Knicks could end up finishing with their worst record in years and with the losing ways of the Knicks it has definitely bred a culture the Knicks want to break. The downside is the Knicks at the trade deadline literally threw in the towel and showed they are going to start to rebuild as they traded away quite a bit of the talent they had. Now, the Knicks are a team that in a few years definitely has potential to be great, but also could really get a good run going soon based on the shoulders of Emmanuel Mudiay.
