Knicks projected to lead Eastern Conference despite quiet offseason

As the NBA season approaches, the New York Knicks are projected to finish at the top of the Eastern Conference with a 53-29 record. Despite not making significant offseason moves, the team has retained key players from the championship roster, including Landry Shamet and Jose Alvarado, while adding Andre Drummond. Maintaining team chemistry from last season is expected to be crucial as the conference grows more competitive with teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Philadelphia 76ers enhancing their lineups. The Knicks aim to build upon a successful campaign marked by a strong late-season performance.
