New York Knicks face roster questions as OG Anunoby’s absence exposes defensive gaps—can this team truly contend for an NBA title? Gavin Schall and Kris Pursiainen examine how the Knicks’ lack of wing depth and reliance on Anunoby have shifted the squad’s defensive identity, especially against physical opponents like the Orlando Magic.

The duo analyzes recent struggles, highlighting the impact of injuries to key defenders and three-point shooters, and raises provocative questions about the team’s construction and championship viability.

Comparisons to elite NBA teams such as the Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets reveal how rookie contracts and draft strategy help create flexible, resilient rosters with better injury insulation. The conversation explores potential pivots and trade targets, like Tyrese Martin, that could fill voids left by injuries. Is New York’s current path sustainable, or must the front office retool to keep pace with deeper, more adaptable rivals?
