That is not the case currently with New York Knicks power forward Enes Kanter, one [...]

Kristaps Porzingis will be extension-eligible this July, at which time, if he’s healthy and they’re smart, the New York Knicks will try to lock him up for the next four or five years. And yet, if his brother and agent, Janis, is to be believed, the 7’1″ skyscraper may not jump at the chance to [...]

Tanking makes so much sense for the New York Knicks, even after their recent three-game winning streak. They own their own draft pick. They have kiddies, including rookie Frank Ntilikina, they can play. They aren’t trying to win, necessarily, even though they are trying. Just imagine going into next season with a core of Ntilkina, [...]

Kristaps Porzingis apparently found closure with former New York Knicks team president Phil Jackson after the latter was canned. And even if he didn’t, he’s getting it now, as he averages career highs across the board and establishes himself as a shoo-in for All-Star honors. Things soured between executive and player this past summer, when [...]

New York Knicks head coach Jeff Hornacek is safe. For now. On the heels of an 0-3 start that saw a couple of players question the engagement and execution of everything around them, some weren’t so sure Hornacek would last into the month of November.

Imagine your favorite NBA team spending the offseason peddling visions of investing in a young core only to then begin the schedule by benching a 23-year-old big who’s considered an integral part of the future. Granted, if you’re a New York Knicks fan, you don’t have to imagine anything. Because this is exactly what’s happening [...]

Carmelo Anthony is no longer with the New York Knicks, but his former teammates have not forgotten about him. And how could they? After all, he was New York’s Teammate of the Year in 2016-17. Yup, true story. Here’s the lowdown from ESPN.com’s Ian Begley, with some fire sentiments from Lance Thomas:  A few months [...]

The New York Knicks do not employ Marc Gasol or Pau Gasol, but they have the next best thing: A 23-year-old big who spent the summer learning from both Gasol brothers. From Newsday’s Al Iannazzone: Playing for Spain in the European Championships, Hernangomez practiced with Pau and Marc Gasol every day. The Gasol brothers have [...]

The Knicks just dealt with the face of their franchise being unwilling to play the position that would help them win most with the style of play in the current NBA, I am talking about Carmelo Anthony’s unwillingness to play the four for the Knicks the past few years despite the fact that he could [...]
