Is this the reason why the Knicks have the second most likely to win the championship?

The Knicks fired five coaching staff members overnight, which is actually easy to understand. These five are all subordinates of Thibodeau. Now that Brown takes office, he must be replaced by subordinates whom he is familiar with. Of course, the Knicks still retained Rick Brunson, and you can tell who it is by the name. He is the father of the core team Brunson, and he has to give some face.

The Athletic announced the latest chance of winning the championship next season. The Thunder still leads the entire league, and the second one is the Knicks. It is hard to imagine that the Knicks will be so high. Let’s not talk about the West. Are the Cavaliers in the East really not as good as the Knicks?

Knicks did not have many offseason operations. So far, they have signed two contracts, one is signing Yabuselle in 2 years and 12 million. He played in 76ers last season, played 70 games, averaged 27 minutes per game, scored 11 points and 5.6 rebounds, shot a 50.1% shooting percentage and 38% three-point shooting percentage, and was very efficient.

This is also the substitute center that Towns found. In fact, the Nuggets also offered Abussele a two-year contract of 12 million, but he directly joined the Knicks. It is very easy to understand. New York is definitely better than Denver. One is one of the most prosperous cities in the United States and the other is the cold plateau. The same goes for two salary, so you must choose a place with a more prosperous life.

Knicks also have a contract, which is very low-key, but very cost-effective. It is to sign Clarkson, the sixth man in a year at 360. Many people don’t know about this contract, and the media has not reported it too much, but the Knicks must have made a lot of money.

Clarkson is only 33 years old this year and is not very old. Needless to say, this guy's scoring ability is more than enough to be the sixth player in the team. He played 37 games with the Jazz last season, averaging 26 minutes per game, and obtained 16+3+4 data, shooting percentage of 40.3% and three-point shooting percentage of 36%. Although he only has the basket after getting the ball, the Knicks really need him to provide firepower from the substitute.

It only costs 3.6 million yuan a year. I really don’t know how the two sides talked about it. There is also Trent from the Bucks, which is also a basic salary this year. I can only say that the NBA is getting more and more confused.

A fan said: "Is this the reason why the Knicks are ranked second in the probability of winning the championship?"

The Knicks' lineup has not changed much, and the main players have been retained. Although Bridges' contract has not been renewed yet, there should be no big problem. Da Qiao should have a salary cut at that time and will not ask for a maximum salary. After all, the team's boss Brunson also has a salary cut and renewed.

Knicks left an Achowa, but there is no contract in the free market yet, which shows that the effect is really average. After taking office, Brown said that he would fail if he didn't win the championship, but it still felt that it was difficult. The Knicks were indeed likely to reach the top in the Eastern Conference, because the Celtics and the Pacers were probably not good next season. Both teams had torn Achilles tendons, which is likely to be reimbursed throughout the season. But looking at the West, the Knicks are really a little worse. If you take out a team, it feels like the Knicks are not sure of winning, let alone the two big bosses, the Thunder and the Nuggets.

Of course, this list is very controversial. The Rockets who strengthened Durant ranked 6th, the Clippers who had Bill and Paul ranked 7th, and the Warriors who had no operations ranked 9th, while the Lakers who strengthened Ayton and Smart fell directly to 11th...

Now the teams have almost completed the reinforcement. What do you think? Is the West going to be in chaos again?
