The New York Knicks 2023-24 regular season is going to wrap up on April 14 against the Chicago Bulls and the focus will shift over to the NBA Playoffs.

The Knicks are currently the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference despite Julius Randle being ruled out for the season and playing without OG Anunoby for an extended period of time.

Guard Jalen Brunson has been the driving force for the Knicks and will be in New York for the long haul.

Meanwhile, some players will be finding new homes next season and are playing in their final postseason with the Knicks. Below we'll discuss three players who are likely done in New York after the playoffs.

1. Shake Milton, PG

Shake Milton signed with the Knicks on Mar. 5 after being with the Detroit Pistons and Minnesota Timberwolves earlier this season.

He played in 38 games with the Timberwolves and four games with the Pistons. In Minnesota, he averaged 4.8 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game.

Since coming over to New York, he's failed to crack the rotation. Guard Miles McBride has emerged immensely in the second half of the season which has completely hindered Milton from getting on the floor.

Milton is at his best when he's attacking downhill and finishing around the rim but New York doesn't look like the place for him. He could be looking for a larger role elsewhere, while the Knicks could use that roster spot to add more talent next offseason.
