Jalen Brunson helped the New York Knicks become competitive playoff teams last season. Their level of play has increased significantly with the arrival of skilled wing Mikal Bridges, and they are now real challengers to the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference.
The Knicks are entering the 2024-25 season with heightened expectations after a significant offseason trade. While reaching the second round of the playoffs has been viewed as a success in recent years, the acquisition of Mikal Bridges has elevated the team’s ambitions.
Though Bridges is not yet an All-Star, his elite three-and-D skills align well with the Knicks’ goals, particularly as they rally around Jalen Brunson, who is seen as the team’s cornerstone. With a roster bolstered by Bridges and a full season from OG Anunoby, the Knicks are positioned for improvement. A record prediction of 56-26 reflects their potential to compete among the Eastern Conference’s elite.
As the Knicks strive for their first Eastern Conference Finals appearance in years, the blend of experienced leadership and emerging talent could be the key to their aspirations this season.
