Dream Chasing - Green: The Knicks lineup is still too good. If you want to win the championship, they have to introduce another star

Golden State Warriors' interior veteran Draymond Green updated his podcast program, and he also talked about the New York Knicks being eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals. In response, Green said that the Knicks need to add a top league star to the current level to be qualified to compete for the championship.

Green said: Yes, if we look back, if the Knicks want to win more games, then their current lineup is obviously not good, and I can't see that they can do this. If the Knicks really want to win the championship, they have to bring in another real top player. I can't name who this top star is, otherwise I will definitely be fined by the league. But if the Knicks really want to compete for the championship, I think they have to have a great player, and that's all I have to say. As for how to operate in the future, this is up to you to judge.

Green continued: But when it comes to winning the championship, as a veteran who has won the championship ring, I know very well what to do to achieve. That is they have to add a superstar to their roster. The Knicks need to bring a great player to this team. As for how they should do this? This matter is obviously not my responsibility, but if you really think they want to win the NBA championship, you must make up for such a superstar. In my opinion, with their current overall strength, they have absolutely no way to do this.

Judging from the current situation of the Knicks, the two core characters in their lineup, Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, are both players who are better offensive than defense. They have huge threats on the offensive end and their scoring abilities are quite good. However, the problem is that their performance on the defensive end is also very poor. Their defensive abilities are not ideal, and it is difficult for them to provide greater support to the team on the defensive end. Like Mikal Bridges or Josh Hart, they prefer functional players. As for OG Anunoby, he looks like a premium 3D type forward player, but his contract amount is close to the maximum salary contract.

In this way, Green may make sense. The Knicks lineup seems to be composed of several strong players, but they all have some weaknesses. They have a certain gap with top stars, and their bench lineup is very limited, so the team can only rely on these players to support the scene. If the Knicks do not introduce a stronger core figure, the gap between them and the championship team is still relatively obvious.
