The defending champion New York Knicks are still tinkering with their roster ahead of training camp.

CP The Fanchise breaks down the additions of John Konchar and Drew Eubanks and what they could mean for New York's final roster spots.

Konchar gives the Knicks another tough, defensive-minded wing who rebounds extremely well for his position and fits the scrappy identity CP wants the championship roster to maintain.

But there's a problem:

Where does everybody fit?

KFTV resident capologist Yosi Gozlan joins the show to explain the Knicks' second-apron situation and why keeping Konchar could eventually require New York to create additional financial flexibility.

That puts Pacôme Dadiet squarely into the conversation.

Yosi explains how moving Dadiet could open enough room for the Knicks to keep another veteran while still addressing their need for center depth.

The conversation then turns to Miles “Deuce” McBride.

Could the Knicks still find a long-term extension with Deuce? What might his value look like on the open market? And how do New York's other upcoming contract decisions impact McBride's future?

Yosi also explores a potential Karl-Anthony Towns extension structure that could lower KAT's future annual salary and create significantly more roster-building flexibility for the Knicks.

Plus, CP discusses opening-night ticket prices, the energy surrounding New York sports following the Knicks championship and which Eastern Conference teams could present the biggest challenge to a repeat.
