The biggest question heading into the New York Knicks’ training camp and preseason is who will fill the team’s elusive fifth starter spot. The fifth slot, however, remains wide open and is shaping up to be a major storyline for coach Mike Brown. But with Brown reserving final decisions on the starting lineup until after training camp, Hart knows he’ll have to earn it. “If I don’t start, I’ll probably ask for a trade and go somewhere else,” Hart joked during media day, though he quickly turned serious. The fifth starter spot could define the early trajectory of the team’s season, and Hart’s veteran presence, versatility, and willingness to play through pain make him a strong contender.
