The top 10 is out, and yeah, it’s just as inane. Obviously some choices are fine, but OKC having the 8th best off-season? How is that? Also amusing is that somehow trades make both teams better, like the Magic and Grizz. Both sides won the Bane trade! Amazing.

NotInNJ, I thought the Knicks ranking was fine, probably – need to see the rest to know – but a lot of others just seemed clueless. Again, I’ll wait to see the rest, but I’m not optimistic there’s anything intelligent there.

Here are some reasons to believe that the Knicks have improved:
-more chemistry with top 7 with a year under their belts, especially true for Mikal and KAT
-Motivated to get farther than last year
-Mitch is starting the season healthy and seems to be working on the right things
-Brown is a new voice and should be more creative and flexible with lineups
-Deuce still has upside
-Yabu+Clarkson is a better 8/9 than Payne+Shamet
-Huk could be a better 3rd-4th string big than Precious or Sims
-Dadiet is a year older
-there is still at least one vet’s minimum spot to burn

Aldridge is ranking the best team off-seasons in the Athletic, and it’s a pretty terrible analysis. But worth reading to come upon players like this:

Rama, I did read this and agree it’s pretty bad. The criteria seem to be mostly did they get better in the off-season combined with a dash of did I (Aldridge) like their draft picks. For tanking teams getting better could just mean improving their future asset position. They only show the bottom ten teams so far. The Knicks are not there. The Lakers are, which surprised me. I don’t like them, but adding Ayton, having an in shape Doncic and coach continuity suggests they did really get better.

As for the Knicks, they are at least in the middle in this ranking and they should be. They didn’t do much, but they filled some holes on their bench, which was needed. That also replaced their coach and some of his staff. And even though I thought Thibs was good, Brown is also good and I like that the team made a full search for the best assistant coach candidates for his staff. We also have hopes of a full Mitch season. My verdict is yes, they improved, but not by a lot. That should put them in the middle of the rankings. What do you guys think, did the Knicks improve this off season?
