Knicks

The was a point during the season where the Knicks looked like they wanted people to consider them one of the Easts elite. I mean, on paper, they should be good enough to host a first round playoff series. But as it stands now, the playoffs don’t quite seem like a reality. They’ve lost 7 [...]

Well, this is a new one. Minutes after the New York Knicks tipped off their eventual loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night, it was announced that Derrick Rose, who was conspicuously absent from the starting five, was no longer with the team for undisclosed reasons. The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski provided some context: [...]

The P.J. Tucker-to-the-New York Knicks hype train lasted about five seconds. According to the New York Post‘s Marc Berman, the Knicks do not have interest in the Phoenix Suns wing: An NBA source said the Knicks aren’t planning to pursue Suns defensive forward P.J. Tucker despite his ties with Hornacek. Tucker shut down Carmelo Anthony in [...]

Reports have surfaced Wednesday morning that the defensively challenged and wing depth starved New York Knicks are in hot pursuit of Phoenix Suns physical and defensive stalwart forward P.J. Tucker. [tweet https://twitter.com/ValleyoftheSuns/status/816552633397702656] The report first surfaced from ESPN New York Knicks Reporter Ian Begley. It makes sense on numerous levels: The Knicks are dying to [...]

The New York Knicks are not a good defensive team. They rank 25th in points allowed per 100 possessions, and they’ve at times looked much, much worse than that. Head coach Jeff Hornacek, naturally, isn’t happy about his team’s defensive stands. And he was particularly frustrated after the Knicks relinquished 115 points to the usually [...]

Rajon Rondo’s foray into free agency this past summer didn’t unfold as planned. The Chicago Bulls signed him to a two-year deal, the second of which is only partially guaranteed. And after he put pen to paper, Dwyane Wade followed him to the Windy City, creating a backcourt with very little spacing. Following a relatively [...]

Dwight Howard had a few different teams he was interested in during last summer’s foray into free agency. The New York Knicks were not one of them. As the big man said ahead of the Atlanta Hawks’ overtime victory against those same Knicks on Wednesday night, per the New York Daily News‘ Stefan Bondy: Phil [...]

Derrick Rose is going to try and give it a go when the New York Knicks square off against the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night. Rose has missed each of the last two games with back spasms but is ready to make his return to the rotation, per ESPN.com’s Ian Begley: “That’s the plan,” he [...]

The four-year, $72.6 million contract the New York Knicks gave Joakim Noah is looking more and more like a mistake. To be sure, it seemed like an unwise move at the time. Team president Phil Jackson threw tens of millions of dollars at an aging big man who plays the Knicks’ best player’s (Kristaps Porzingis) [...]

Kristaps Porzingis is already the New York Knicks’ best player. That’s a fact, and it’s not a shot at Carmelo Anthony, who remains one of the best scorers in the game. It’s just that Porzingis’ talent is harder, if impossible, to replicate. He is essentially a 7’3″ wing with post-up skills and the ability to, [...]
