The New York Knicks hired David Fizdale in May 2018, hoping he would be the guy who could help the Knicks rebuild and potentially bring them back to prominence (no, that was not me snickering; it must have been you). But here the Knicks are, a year and change into Fizdale’s reign, and New York […]

[…]

New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris echoed the statements of team president Steve Mills after their blowout loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

New York Knicks’ Frank Ntilikina tried to put the towering Kristaps Porzingis in a poster, but the Dallas Mavericks center was having none of it.

Phil Jackson may have put all of his eggs into the Kristaps Porzingis when he drafted him as New York Knicks president back in 2015, but after just one year, Jackson was apparently ready to abandon ship. It seems odd, because Porzingis had a terrific rookie campaign and looked like a superstar in the making, […]

Back before the 2017 NBA Draft, there was some speculation that the New York Knicks could trade star big man Kristaps Porzingis.

[…]

The New York Knicks traded Kristaps Porzingis to the Mavs in a shocking chain of events, very quickly after rumors of his “unhappiness” with the team surfaced.

Seven games into the new season and Dallas Mavericks big man Kristaps Porzingis has decided to provide us with a way-too-early self-assessment of his current level of play for the Mavs. As it turns out, the 7-foot-3 power forward, who missed all of last season recovering from an ACL injury, is quite disappointed with how […]

New York Knicks big man Julius Ranle has struggled to find a rhythm through the early stages of this season, but he’s hoping to figure out a solution sooner rather than later. The Knicks are asking Randle to be a leader on both ends of the floor. So far, though, opposing sides have limited his […]
