2016–17 New York Knicks season

The 2016–17 New York Knicks season was the 71st season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). On June 2, 2016, the Knicks announced Jeff Hornacek as their new head coach.

The off-season dominated with the acquisitions of former Chicago Bulls players Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah.

Following the season, Phil Jackson left as team president, Derrick Rose signed as a free agent with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Carmelo Anthony was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Draft
The Knicks did not have a pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.
