If you’re looking to attend New York Knicks games in 2016-17, your partial season ticket package is ready and waiting for your purchase!

The 2016-17 NBA regular season is the very definition of a high-stakes affair. Phil Jackson is entering his third season as New York Knicks team president, Carmelo Anthony is 32 years of age, and the supporting cast collectively and individually have something to prove.

If you’re one of the many who’s excited about the immediate future, then the availability of partial season tickets will likely appeal to you.

The Knicks have revamped the roster in indescribable ways. A new head coach was hired and the roster was altered with three new starters, a new sixth man, and new backups at point guard, shooting guard, and center.

If those changes have you considering the purchase of partial season tickets, they’re officially on sale.

This season has the potential to be worth the investment.

The Knicks hired Jeff Hornacek as head coach, which is reason enough to be optimistic. Derek Fisher was an unproven commodity and Kurt Rambis had a lackluster track record.

Hornacek, meanwhile, led the Phoenix Suns to 48 wins in 2013-14 and an overachieving 39 wins in 2014-15.

New York followed the Hornacek hiring by trading Jose Calderon, Jerian Grant, and Robin Lopez for Justin Holiday and Derrick Rose. The Knicks further solidified the backcourt by signing Brandon Jennings and Courtney Lee.

In other words, the starting and backup guards from 2015-16 either aren’t on the roster or will not fill those same roles in 2016-17.

In the frontcourt, Lopez was replaced with 2014 Defensive Player of the Year and All-NBA First Team honoree Joakim Noah. The backup situation is undetermined, but Willy Hernangomez and Marshall Plumlee both have upside.

Throw in the returning Carmelo Anthony, Kristaps Porzingis, and Lance Thomas, and the rotation is worth discussing again.

If ever there were a season worth buying tickets for, 2016-17 appears to be it.
