Knicks’ failure to attract free agents ultimately influenced Kenba’s decision to wear a green jersey. If he chooses to join the New York Knicks, he will rebuild. I knew I needed to.

The situation in Kemba is just the last example. For them, hopefully their latest hire, Tom Thibodeau, can ultimately help turn things around for the New York Knicks.
