Nicolas Batum’s foray into free agency this past summer was beyond brief. It seemed like he agreed to re-sign with the Charlotte Hornets almost as soon as the clock struck midnight eastern time on July 1. But that doesn’t mean other teams didn’t try wooing him. At least two did, according to The Vertical’s Shams [...]

The New York Knicks gave Joakim Noah four years and $72 million in free agency to help anchor their defense, but it seems they’ll have to wait a while before that investment pays any dividends. From Newsday‘s Al Iannazzone: With only one practice left before the opener, getting their starting point guard comfortable and up [...]

It doesn’t sound like Brandon Jennings will be the New York Knicks starting point guard on opening night, next Tuesday, against the Cleveland Cavaliers. That honor will belong to Derrick Rose, as planned. His status has been up in the air of late. He hasn’t been with the team; he’s been in Los Angeles, as [...]

Freshly instated New York Knicks head coach Jeff Hornacek won’t mince words, or sugarcoated pleasantries, when it comes to the triangle offense. From the New York Daily News‘ Frank Isola: Jeff Hornacek is intent on updating Phil Jackson’s antiquated triangle offense and even admitted on Sunday what has been painfully obvious for the past two [...]

The New York Knicks and the Houston Rockets have decided to take their show of unity one step further than other NBA teams. Last night players from both teams interlocked arms with one another during the anthem, not just with their own teammates. [tweet https://twitter.com/HoustonRockets/status/783458026380328960] Joakim Noah apparently contacted Houston Rockets James Harden and Corey [...]

Derrick Rose will be present for the Knicks preseason opening tonight against the Houston Rockets but will be flying to Los Angeles on Wednesday to stand trial in his sexual assault case. Rose told Houston reporters that he is expecting to miss some practice time and is not expecting any type of settlement yet. The [...]

As the New York Knicks inevitably struggle to meet the unreasonably high expectations that have been set before them, both internally and externally, remember this: They still have Kristaps Porzingis. Even if he suffers a sophomore slump or sees his role in the offense marginalized by the ball-dominant Derrick Rose, Porzingis, still just 21, is [...]

Jeff Van Gundy is higher on the new-look New York Knicks than Las Vegas. Currently, the over/under on New York’s win total for this season is 38.5. The Knicks clearly won’t be happy if that proves accurate. Improving by only five or six wins after adding Derrick Rose, whose civil trial for sexual assault begins [...]

Going solely on what he’s been saying so far, Derrick Rose is very happy to be a Knick. You get that feeling that, if he wasn’t, he’d be open and honest about it. His trade was as shocking to us as it was to him, but he has taken it all in stride. His checkered [...]

The Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas posted its annual season win totals on Tuesday, per ESPN.com’s David Purdum, and there weren’t many surprises. The Golden State Warriors are expected to win more games (66.5) than any other team, because duh. The Cleveland Cavaliers and San Antonio Spurs (56.5) are right behind them, because obviously. The [...]
