The New York Knicks haven’t taken a leap forward this season, and some fans are worried they could get stuck in a mediocrity spiral.
They seem to have the potential to be so much better, yet they alternate wins with losses.
With that in mind, former NBA player Chandler Parsons believes they should make every single player on their roster available except for Jalen Brunson (via Run It Back).

Brunson has been playing at an All-Star level since he made it to the Big Apple.
He knew he would have to be at his best if he wanted to honor that huge deal he signed, as most people criticized him and deemed him overpaid and thought he only got that contract because of his family ties with the organization.
Thus far, Brunson has averaged 25.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game on 47.5/46.0/80.3 shooting splits.
Julius Randle and RJ Barrett have alternated solid games with not-so-good ones, and their trade values seem to fluctuate.
The Knicks have more than enough draft capital to make a run at some big names, but they’ve usually struck out when they swing for the fences.
As of now, they could look to make a run at Zach LaVine and/or DeMar DeRozan, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see them engage in talks for Pascal Siakam and/or OG Anunoby as well.
If not, Donovan Mitchell could once again become a feasible target if he stays non-committal about his future with the Cleveland Cavaliers organization in the offseason.
