The New York Knicks walk into the 2021-22 season with easily their deepest roster since at least 2012-13. For once, a trade doesn’t feel like a necessity or something that New York should be actively looking for. That said, there’s nothing wrong with keeping your options open! While the Knicks will be looking to build […]

Last April, New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson sparked rumors of a possible move to the New York Knicks when he professed his love for the city and its basketball culture. Of course it didn’t help that there were rumors he wasn’t happy with the team in NOLA; the Pels have failed to surround him […]

The New York Knicks, after having roughly a 20-year streak of underachievement, lack of development, and overall futility at the point guard spot, are suddenly flush with talent at that spot. Apologies to fans of Raymond Felton, or to those magical few weeks of Linsanity, but the Kemba Walker and Derrick Rose tandem at point […]

The New York Knicks surprisingly made the postseason last year. After years of drama and tumblings inside the organization, the Knicks finally broke through. Of course, it did not end too well, since they were knocked out in five games versus the Atlanta Hawks. However, the young team led by Julius Randle still had a […]

As great as the 2020-21 New York Knicks were for erasing some of the many demons of the past surrounding the team, the last memory fans were left with was that of the team being throttled by the Atlanta Hawks on the way to a 4-1 defeat in the first round. One of the main […]

During New York Knicks media day, RJ Barrett had an interesting proclamation to make: Reggie Bullock often defended the NYK opponent’s top wing scorer last year. RJ Barrett was asked if he might take on that role this year w/Bullock in DAL. Barrett says he takes pride in being a 2-way player. “If coach puts […]

More often than not, those who win the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award would be on the trajectory to becoming an All-Star. In years past, players such as Julius Randle, Jimmy Butler, Paul George, and Giannis Antetokounmpo won the said accolade and made massive strides in their respective careers. This season, Darius Garland of the […]

New York Knicks Media Day is underway, which means it’s time to hear about how hard all of the players have been working this summer and how ready they are for the season ahead. All of the platitudes. But Derrick Rose is a straight shooter, and he dropped a bombshell to start his media availability, […]

The Brooklyn Nets were one of the many teams linked to never-ending Ben Simmons trade rumors recently. It was Stephen A.

So […]

The New York Knicks made some noise in the offseason, but as team president Leon Rose noted, the wheeling and dealing is far from over.

There are countless Where Were You When moments in the NBA. Michael Jordan’s shrug, LeBron James’ block, Kobe Bryant’s 81 points, Chris Andersen missing 748735 dunks during the 2005 Slam Dunk Contest, etc. But for the fans of the New York Knicks and the Denver Nuggets, one of the most memorable moments was the infamous […]

Julius Randle has unfinished business with the New York Knicks.

Randle played poorly in the series. The Knicks made key moves in the offseason, picking up […]

The New York Knicks surprised the league last season. After years of uncertainty, drama, and overall toxicity, the team under coach Tom Thibodeau had an amazing year. With every analyst stating they are still a lottery team, the Knicks won 41 games, enough for the 4th seed in the East. Unfortunately for Knicks fans, the […]

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel recently filed a lawsuit against Rich Paul and Klutch Sports alleging he lost $58 million in salary from 2017-20, when Paul was his agent.

It cannot be denied that new Los Angeles Lakers recruit Carmelo Anthony is one of the most gifted scorers this game has ever seen.

The New York Knicks’ biggest star today is Julius Randle, but the veteran forward doesn’t want fans to take their eyes off RJ Barrett. After all, he sees the young wing taking a major leap in his third year in the NBA. In an interview with Ian Begley of SNY.TV, Randle opened up about Barrett […]

The New York Knicks made some significant moves this offseason, bringing in the likes of Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier while retaining their core and veteran role players.

The New York Knicks ended a 7-year playoff drought last year, and while they did go out in the first round to the Atlanta Hawks, the storied franchise still made strides towards exiting their circle of incompetency. Additions of primarily Julius Randle, but also the likes of Derrick Rose, clearly pushed the roster ahead of […]

Safe to say that gone are the days when fans and critics laughed at the New York Knicks for their misfortunes. Julius Randle is a bona fide All-Star and he has the proper supporting cast around him.

The NBA season saw a whole host of players who raised their stock and perception around the league.

Similarly, Trae Young, who wasn’t even […]

The Dallas Mavericks swooping in on free agency Reggie Bullock is lowkey one of the best moves in the offseason.
