New York Knicks and the signals of distrust they convey

The outlook was very promising after the signings made during the summer, but the performance of New York Knicks so far this season leaves a lot to be desired. There is so much talent in the team that wins come, but there is no sense of collective cohesion, the rotation is very short, and there are still players below their level who cannot find their spaces.

Good atmosphere, developing automatism, a team identity, and collective effort. That is what New York Knicks conveyed last year, and after signing two great players like Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges, the outlook was exciting. However, not everything in life is about gathering stars. The sacrifices to get these two players were Hartenstein and Di Vincenzo, two men who provided a very particular fit for the team, offered energy in the rotation, and made impeccable defensive efforts.

The major decline of New York Knicks this year is in defense, being the 22nd team in the NBA in defensive rating. Additionally, Brunson has not yet reached his best level, and the feeling is that the team has not developed a collective sentiment. Tom Thibodeau continues to narrow the rotation, with Cameron Payne and Miles McBride as the only bench players with minutes at a certain level, something entirely insufficient and threatening to exhaust a quintet still far from the presumed level.
