The idea of giving an injury-prone big superstar money through his 35th birthday is harrowing. Nevertheless, no matter what Knicks fans think of Noah’s contract, they’re going to love Noah—his attitude, his leadership, his drive, his [...]

Surely the New York Knicks aren’t thinking about their next point guard after just trading for Derrick Rose. LOL, just kidding. Of course they are. They are the Knicks. They are in a position to have a bunch of cap space next year, even with the dip in projections, and the point guard well will [...]
So, apparently, the New York Knicks really are hoping their marriage to Derrick Rose is a long-term thing. Though team president Phil Jackson has burned through the franchise’s cap space, and then some, to build a fringe playoff contender, the Knicks still have options leading into next summer.

Things have changed for the New York Knicks. Ridiculously quickly, I might add. Though they have long needed a quality starting point guard, they weren’t initially expected to chase one in free agency this summer.
