New York Knicks

Those New York Knicks are at it again. No, not winning. I said “again,” thereby implying they’re plotting a free-agency coup of epic and unrealistic proportions. According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, the Knicks are hoping Rajon Rondo will force a trade to New York before 2015. If all else fails, they’ll snag him in free [...]

Should the Clippers trade Blake Griffin for Carmelo Anthony? Stephen A. Smith suggests the struggling Knicks should send future free agent forward Carmelo Anthony to the Los Angeles Clippers in return for Blake Griffin, but here are 3 really good reasons you don’t pull the trigger on that trade if you are the Los Angeles [...]

Addition by subtraction. Depletion by addition. That’s been the NBA’s prevailing theme this season. So many teams aren’t where they’re supposed to be. And I mean so many. Can anyone explain the Phoenix Suns, lottery-dwellers of 2012-13? Though they added Eric Bledsoe, they traded away Marcin Gortat and Jared Dudley. Now they’re among the Western [...]

Dirk Nowitzki is starting to see a pattern. It’s a pattern you’ve probably noticed, too. A well-documented, oddball pattern—the NBA’s Eastern Conference sucks. Like, it’s really bad. Horrible. Spit-in-your-face disgusting. Players know it. Teams know it. They have to. There’s no way they can’t. Few have voiced it publicly, though. Save for the Portland Trail [...]

The New York Knicks are notorious for lusting after other people’s players (OPP). Now it seems they’re also interested in OPC—other people’s coaches.

Speaking with reporters, Rondo was asked about the recent rumor that Carmelo Anthony was recruiting him to join the Knicks in 2015, when he’ll become an unrestricted free agent. Rondo’s former high school coach at Oak Hill Academy, Steve Smith, [...]

Welp. New York Knicks fans weren’t supposed to be worried about Carmelo Anthony leaving. Why would he? He loves New York. The city has endless marketing opportunities. The Knicks have $129 million with his name on it. ‘Melo is the only player an alcohol-basted James Dolan would jump through a ring of fire for. He’s [...]

And you thought the Boston Celtics were tanking. Don’t worry, you’re not alone; I thought so, too. Matter of fact, I still think so. They’re 8-12, probably to the dismay of general manager Danny Ainge. He likely figured them for a win or two by this point. Not eight. And there was no way in [...]

Oh, you New York Knicks. You wildly dysfunctional, presently terrible New York Knicks. You never cease to amaze us whilst also making us loathe ourselves for indulging your embarrassing antics. Sorry, did I lose you there? Good, I didn’t think so. The Knicks have been a living, breathing catastrophe this season. Reminiscent of the days [...]
