00:00Do you expect New York to be right back in the championship conversation and who do you think is the
00:04player that'll be the biggest X factor in getting them there?
00:07I do expect them to be a part of the conversation. I do think, you know, the way the NBA
00:13is now, I'm not saying they don't want to see repeat champions, but the way the salary cap and the
00:19apron and all that stuff works, like losing Mitchell Robinson is a prime example of making it harder for anyone
00:25to repeat.
00:26And the thunder went through a similar thing. I think the Knicks are plus 1000 to win the NBA championship,
00:33but I think they started off as plus 700. So they start off three and four and they knocked them
00:38back up to plus 1000. So I think if you, you know, if you like to venture in a little
00:43wager, I'm definitely gonna just put a little entertainment money on the Knicks to win the championship. But I do
00:50think that's a unique Knicks talent is the health and durability of these guys.
00:54So I fully expect them to be in a conversation, but if this is the final form of the team,
00:59you know, I do think that obviously the stars will do what they do. I do think it's those bench
01:04guys. I think it's the Elvarados, the Clarks and seeing Tyler Colick develop.
01:08I'm curious to see what happens with the center minutes with Drummond, but I think it's going to come down
01:12to that bench. Like, do we get the Landry Sham at that shot 90% in the finals? Like if
01:17that happens, we're a very big problem for a lot of teams.
