Dont expect much turnover with this Knicks core anytime soon

SAN FRANCISCO — The Knicks, as constructed by Leon Rose, are built for continuity.With the exception of Mikal Bridges, whose extension eligibility becomes the big offseason story, every starter is under contract until at least 2027. If Bridges signs an extension and Karl-Anthony Towns picks up a player option, they’re all contracted by the Knicks until 2028 and beyond. In the era of the aprons, that can be good and bad.

It’s tremendous if the roster is young and at least progressing toward title contention.In the case of the Knicks, Josh Hart is the eldest starter at just a hair over 30.

“Leon has done a good job of lining up the contracts.So this isn’t our only season.

So we’re going to play a bunch of seasons together.You take a look at teams like Boston that have played together, they get to draw off something that they built off that period of time.

And for this team, that’s really the challenge today — going into the playoffs, it’s to build that inside of the team. “Something we can draw on.In order to do that, the first thing you have to have is belief that you can win, that you can win the championship.

You really, really believe that.You’re not going to worry about podcasts.

You’re going to worry about how you’re playing with the other guys, how the communication is going.What you can do to be better.
