00:00All right, Knicks fans, it's officially summertime in New York, which means it's time to talk about free agency.

00:06Let's be real. The Knicks, they don't exactly have a boatload of cash to splash this offseason.

00:10They do have the taxpayer mid-level exception to use, so smart, targeted moves could make all the difference.

00:17Here are my top three free agents that the Knicks should absolutely chase at the start of free agency.

00:22First up, let's talk about Gershon Yabaselli.

00:25After spending last season with the Sixers, the French forwards showed that he can still make an NBA impact,

00:30blending toughness and versatility on both ends of the floor.

00:34The Dancing Bear, he's truly evolved, providing reliable three-point shooting, hitting 38% from deep last season.

00:40He's exactly the kind of gritty player that New York basketball fans love, with the added bonus of stretching the floor.

00:47Who wouldn't want to see? The Dancing Bear, love that nickname, at MSG.

00:51Next, the Bockers need shooters, shooters, and more shooters.

00:55And Luke Kennard is exactly that guy.

00:58Kennard knocked down 43% from downtown with the Grizzlies last season,

01:02and with spacing always at a premium around Jalen Brunson and Carl Anthony Towns,

01:07Kennard's silky stroke would open lanes and ease some of that offensive pressure.

01:11Plus, he's got playoff experience and should be able to thrive under the pressure here in New York.

01:16Kennard in the Garden? Count me in for that.

01:18Last but definitely not least, let's talk about Gary Harris.

01:22Yes, coming off of a tough season with the Magic, shooting just over 35% from three,

01:27while averaging the fewest minutes, 14.8, and points three per game since his rookie year.

01:33But that's exactly why he could be available on a low-risk, one-year, prove-it minimum deal.

01:39And despite recent struggles and some injury history,

01:42Harris is still a veteran presence, with a defensive upside at 30 years old.

01:46And being a CAA client never hurts when it comes to the Knicks.

01:51All right, Knicks Nation, there you have it.

01:53Yavusele for toughness and shooting.

01:55Kennard to light it up from downtown.

01:57And Harris as a potential bounce-back two-way candidate on a friendly deal.

02:01Now look, none of these moves might break the bank,

02:04but all three could be game-changers at the Garden.

02:07Free A&C is here.

02:08Let's see if the Knicks front office makes these moves happen.

02:11See you now.

02:12You won't be good.
