Knicks Acquire Anunoby but Still Seek Superstar Player

Anunoby's Defensive Prowess Bolsters Knicks, Quickley Expected to Thrive in Toronto

• The New York Knicks recently acquired veteran forward OG Anunoby, who has already shown his value in his debut game with the team, helping the Knicks secure a win against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
• Despite Anunoby's strong performance, the Knicks are still in need of a superstar player to take them all the way, as it's been almost 20 years since a non-superstar team has won the NBA title.
• The Knicks traded RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley for Anunoby, a move that has been met with mixed reactions. Quickley is expected to thrive in Toronto's offense and join the starting lineup.
• Anunoby is known for his defensive prowess and his ability to fit into most lineups without needing the ball in his hands to swing games. He is expected to follow the other team's best wing and improve the Knicks' already-strong defense.
• The Knicks are speculated to be willing to make another trade to upgrade their team, with the goal of forcing New York into the same realm as the Sixers, Boston Celtics, and Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference.
