New York Knicks team president Phil Jackson has revealed that he plans to rebuild the team through free agency.
The Knicks have struggled for the entire 2014-15 campaign, posting a 13-52 record in the Eastern Conference, and as a result are in line for a high Draft pick.
However, Jackson has admitted that the club are prioritising the free-agent market over the Draft due to the amount of quality players that will be available.
"We know what the first-round pick is going to mean for us, but we also know we're going to build our team with free agents," Jackson told reporters.
"A hundred and ninety players or so are going to be free agents. Not half the league, but like a third of the league is going to be free agents. So that's where our priority stands."
Jackson was vocal in his criticism of the Knicks' current roster, claiming that they had a loser's mentality.
