Can New York Knicks Contend in Eastern Conference Without Donovan Mitchell Trade?

Jalen Brunson was signed by the Knicks from the Dallas Mavericks in July. New York also signed RJ Barrett and Mitchell Robinson. The Knicks have $340 million invested in the trio of Julius Randle, Brunon and Barrett. Mitchell could be traded to the Utah Jazz for Donovan Mitchell before the season begins.

The New York Knicks have had a productive and encouraging offseason. They signed Jalen Brunson from the Dallas Mavericks. The team also signed RJ Barrett and Mitchell Robinson. However, Barrett could be traded to the Utah Jazz for Donovan Mitchell before the season begins. The Knicks are the ninth team in the Eastern Conference odds. According to Las Vegas sportsbooks, the Knicks has the eighth-best odds to win the East. It's not a good bet, but the team is paying a lot of money to keep players like Julius Randle, Brunston and Barrett.
