New York Knicks' Playoffs Hopes: Analyst Predicts No Major Roster Changes Needed New York, NY (June 3, 2025) — BetMGM Network analyst Nick Kostos has made a bold prediction about the New York Knicks' chances in the upcoming NBA season. In a short video posted on June 2nd, Kostos stated that the Knicks don't need to make any significant changes to their roster to compete for the Eastern Conference title. "I think the answer to that question, nothing," Kostos said in the video, adding that many people don't fully appreciate how weak the Eastern Conference will be next year. He believes that if the Knicks remain healthy, their current team is capable of making a deep playoff run. Kostos's opinion is sure to spark debate among NBA fans. While he acknowledges the strong competition in the East, particularly from teams like Cleveland and Milwaukee, he believes the Knicks have a legitimate chance to succeed with their existing players. His confidence in the Knicks' current roster is a noteworthy take, given the common expectation of significant off-season moves by most teams.
