ESPN's David Dennis Jr. explains the immense pressure that new Knicks head coach Mike Brown will be under next season

Through their free-agency activity so far and the expected hiring of Mike Brown to be their next head coach, the New York Knicks have made one thing unassailably clear: They are all-in on juicing their offense—potential collateral damage on defense be absolutely damned.

In 2022, Mike Brown took over a team that had won 30 games the previous season with an offense that ranked No. 24 in the NBA. When training camp began, the Sacramento Kings ' new coach told them that they'd have five offensive staples: pace, floor spacing, quick decisions, paint touches and ball reversals.
