In fact, what Lian Dao said is actually based on his own opinions.

If the team's performance is mediocre this season, he will also think that trading is the way out.

However, they clearly have the ability to defend the title. As long as they keep their lineup intact this season, it is basically possible.

…

The trade deadline is over and the league has returned to calm again.

Even if some teams are injured and cannot make a roster, they can only recall players from the Development League.

The Knicks' games in March are still going on.

The Knicks really showed the momentum to defend their championship in the second half of the March schedule.

They first easily defeated the completely rebuilt Trail Blazers at home.

Then, in two consecutive games, they defeated the Pacers at home and away respectively. The second game was back-to-back on the road.

Of course, it's back-to-back for both parties.

This was followed by back-to-back wins over the Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers.

The opponents in these games are not very strong, except for the Philadelphia 76ers who struggled a bit.

Because of the back-to-back, the Knicks all felt bad, so the whole team strengthened their defense, and the two sides fell into a defensive battle.

The score between the two sides was tense for a time, but in the end the Knicks relied on their overall strength to become even better and won the final victory.

On March 23, the Knicks played the Toronto Rams again in an away game.
