The summer of 2010 was supposed to be the rebirth of the once proud New York Knicks franchise. And while they missed out on the biggest prize former Cleveland forward LeBron James, the summer wasn't a total loss as they were able to sign Amare Stoudemire away from Phoenix. Amare and newly signed point guard Raymond Felton hope to breath life into the Garden and lead the Knicks back to the playoffs. Forward Danilo Gallinari had a breakout year last season and is hoping to build off it. in 10-11. The Knicks also brought in Kelenna Azubuike from Golden State and Roger Mason Jr. from San Antonio. Both are looking for increased production with bigger roles and more playing time. The super athletic and full on potential Anthony Randolph comes in from Golden State where he will no longer be held down by Don Nelson. The rest of the bench consists of Eddy Curry, Wilson Chandler, Ronny Turiaf, Toney Douglas, Timofy Mozgov, Patrick Ewing Jr., and Bill Walker. The Knicks should finally compete for a playoff spot in the East. Finally starting to emerge from the mess left from Isaiah Thomas. While there is some optimism in Gotham the Knicks are still a ways away from where they want to be. A run at Carmelo Anthony either by trade or free agency in the summer would go a long way to getting them there.
As far as this season for the Knicks a return to the postseason is not out of the question.
