Draft picks Roster Regular season After falling short in the 1981 NBA Playoffs, the Knicks' general manager Eddie Donovan attempted to add some veteran talent with the intention of making a more playoff-ready team.

Another one of Richardson's friends, Mike Glenn was also sent away, rather than being re-signed for a second-round draft pick. The Knicks were still in a playoff hunt; despite not playing at a high level, they were 19–17 and were ready to make a run for the playoffs, when Donovan signed Paul Westphal; instead, the Knicks lost 16 of the last ...
