Knicks Have Decisions to Make On 2026 Draft Picks; What Are Their Options?<\/h2>\n

New York has decided to run things back after winning its first NBA championship<\/a> in 53 seasons.

While the Knicks lost Mitchell Robinson to the Boston Celtics<\/a> and Ariel Hukporti<\/a> to the Philadelphia 76ers, they were able to extend Jose Alvarado<\/a> and re-sign Landry Shamet<\/a>, Mohamed Diawara<\/a>, and Jordan Clarkson<\/a>.<\/p>\n
