As we all know, since the trading market opened this summer, the league teams have started to strengthen wildly. But unlike in the past, the Eastern Conference team's strengthening this summer is more fierce than before. The Celtics have spread their roots and sent the Walt God to join the Hawks. At the same time, the latter signed LeWork and other powerful players, completing all-round upgrades to the lineup in a very short time.

In addition, the Eastern Conference runner-up Knicks are not willing to fall behind. They first fired the "cancer" coach Thibodeau, and then signed Brown to become the team's head coach. As a former Warriors champion assistant coach, fans who know Brown know that the Warriors were able to play unrivaled dominance back then, and the performance of core players such as Splash is important, but the coaching staff behind them is the key to determining the outcome.

If Cole is in front of the stage, then Brown is behind the scenes. With Brown here, the Warriors' coaching staff can exert their maximum power. Just like after Brown left the team, Cole's many chaotic coaching has exposed his true level, a pseudo-star coach who has taken advantage of the Splash Brothers' bonus. On the other hand, Brown knows how to use the maximum energy of players. Just like when he coached the Kings, the Kings were once made from the bottom of the Western Conference to a playoff-level team. In other words, the Knicks' rotation lineup in the new season will get a lot of opportunities, and the "Five Donkeys" era has become a past tense.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to signing the experienced Brown in the free market, the Knicks also captured the Jazz's abandoned player Clarkson from the buyout market. The two sides signed a 1-year, 3.6 million veteran base salary, officially becoming a member of the Knicks lineup in the new season. Last season, Clarkson averaged 16 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 36%.

As the famous super sixth man in the NBA, Clarkson's combat effectiveness is definitely obvious to all. He is a typical plug-and-play player. The key is that the basic salary of 3.6 million is cheap enough. You should know that last season, Bill had an annual salary of over 50 million in the Suns, and his average data was only 17 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game. This comparison is really good.

In this way, the Knicks will form a super five-tier lineup of Brunson + Clarkson + Anunobi + Bridge + Towns in the new season. Although this lineup is a bit fragile on the offensive end, as long as the coaching staff can come up with a mature defensive system, the Knicks are still worth looking forward to in the new season. Moreover, in the East where Tatum is reimbursed for season and Halliburton is reimbursed for season, who else can pose a threat to the full-sport Knicks?
