Forecasts for the Knicks are sky-high after an enormous offseason. Tom Thibodeau weighs in on the anticipations.

New York Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau has seen a fair mix of success and futility throughout his career. In four years with the Knicks, however, Thibodeau has mostly experienced success, and a big part of that has to do with the players the front office has found to place around him.

The Knicks doubled-down on that connection in the offseason, trading for Mikal Brides, a perfect 3-and-D swingman who fills a role and also happened to play at Villanova with Brunson, DiVincenzo, and Hart.
