The New York Knicks seemed to be very serious to a Win-Now status as they keep on upgrading their roster. With Derrick Rose and Brandon Jennings as their primary and backup point guards, they still need to add a third point guard and that could be Kirk Hinrich.
The New York Knicks looks to be a contender this season with their current roster. But with both two point guards Rose and Jennings came from a devastating injury, they are much likely to be an injury-prone and very risky according to the Basketball Insider.
The New York Knicks need to have another backup point guard to ensure that they won't face a big problem if in case Rose or Jennings got injured. It could be a worse scenario for the Knicks if they'll not act as early as possible.

Kirk Hinrich is still unsigned until today and he could be a big help for the Knicks. Kirk Hinrich, a 13-year NBA veteran who was a previous teammate by Rose for 2 years with the Bulls, would be a good fit with the New York Knicks due to his skills as a playmaker and an adept shooter.
With Phil Jackson's famous Triangle Offense, Kirk Hinrich wouldn't have a problem with its system since Hinrich can pass, screen and shoot. With a career average of 41 percent beyond the arc, Hinrich can be used for stretching the defense as Carmelo Anthony dominates the low-post area.
If Kirk Hinrich signed with the New York Knicks, he will also be reunited with his former Bulls teammate Joakim Noah. Hinrich will be joining an elite group of veteran and young players if the New York Knicks sign him.
The Knicks is now a potential contender as they rebuild their roster and it's been better than last year. As per the Sportsgrageous says, Carmelo Anthony is now looking to move forward and hopes to get back to the NBA Playoffs with his new crew such as the in-paint defender Joakim Noah, the young and talented Kristaps Porzingis, skilled slasher Courtney Lee, the explosive Brandon Jennings and the former MVP Derrick Rose.
