But they're not an aging team.

If the Knicks decided after getting knocked out, let's say they do lose to the Celtics in the second round, and they take the approach of, we're going to run it back, kind of like what the Yankees are doing, and we'll change some bench pieces, we'll hopefully do well in the draft, we have our pick, and yes, Jalen's a year older, yes, Kat's a year older, yes, everyone's a year older, but the experience will only help us.

Their window should be open next year.

The East, in theory, will be better because Halliburton will be back, the Wizards could be a force, Tatum is fully healthier, and who knows what the Celtics do during the offseason.

Right, the Nets will have won the lottery and have Giannis.

Okay, yeah.

I'm fully aware, I'm not even going to acknowledge that, that the East could be better.

But it's not as if this is a bunch of 35-year-olds.

Which is why, because I know you've said this.

And you're not the only one who says, well, let's say they get through the East.

Let's say they beat Boston.

Let's say they beat Detroit.

All things that are certainly possible.

They can't beat the Thunder.

And the reason that's BS.

I remember saying it prophetically last year when guys thought they couldn't beat Boston.

One injury changes everything.

Right.

SGA could go down.

Well, I mean, it happens.
