The New York Knicks pulled off one of the first major moves of the 2024 NBA offseason in acquiring Mikal Bridges in a trade with the Brooklyn Nets. Aside from Mikal Bridges’ on court impact, the trade is significant in that it reunites former Villanova teammates in Bridges, Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Hart. […]

The first major domino of the 2024 offseason has finally fallen: the Brooklyn Nets have finally bitten the bullet and traded away Mikal Bridges, and to the New York Knicks, no less. After rumors swirled regarding the Nets’ view of Bridges as a foundational piece, it was not quite clear if the team was going […]

In a shocking twist less than 24 hours before the 2024 NBA Draft, the Brooklyn Nets have traded rising star Mikal Bridges to the New York Knicks in exchange for numerous draft picks and veteran forward Bojan Bogdanovic, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The Knicks are sending four unprotected first-round picks, a protected first-round pick from the […]

The New York Knicks are in unfamiliar territory heading into the 2024 NBA Draft. They are dangerously close to becoming a legitimate title contender. Therefore, this year’s draft is of the upmost importance. And while New York has two first-round picks and one second-round pick, none are higher than 24th overall. So, the Knicks will probably […]

Though they lost in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the New York Knicks’ 2023-24 season was an overwhelming success.  They emerged as one of the best teams in the league, and are now poised to add to their core with the 24th and 25th picks of the 2024 NBA Drafts. Players like Tyler Kolek and Kel’el […]

The New York Knicks have a key NBA free agency target in former Toronto Raptors starting forward OG Anunoby.

Anunoby has declined his […]

Injuries significantly hurt the New York Knicks in the 2023-24 NBA season, especially in the playoffs. With that perhaps in mind, New York decided to make an intriguing addition to the team, as NBA insider Marc Stein reported on Sunday that the Eastern Conference franchise has made the decision to hire Dallas Mavericks trainer Casey […]

There have been recent reports indicating that OG Anunoby is not happy with the current offer the New York Knicks have on the table for him as he heads into unrestricted free agency, but the current thought is that he still re-signs with the Knicks. “The Knicks, despite some recent murmurs about OG Anunoby considering […]

The New York Knicks have questions to answer this offseason with their center position with Isaiah Hartenstein approaching unrestricted free agency, but there is a report regarding the Knicks talking with the Washington Wizards regarding a potential trade involving Mitchell Robinson, according to Ian Begley of SNY. “So the fact that Mitchell Robinson’s name has […]

The New York Knicks are allegedly in the unenviable position of exploring trade proposals for their longest-tenured player. Mitchell Robinson has been a member of the Knicks since 2018. The seven-footer has developed into a rebounding machine, dominating the offensive glass. He’s also an incredible rim defender. Sadly, Robinson is also injury-prone, having missed 20 […]

New York Knicks star Julius Randle experienced both the blessings and challenges of playing alongside Kobe Bryant during his time with the Los Angeles Lakers. While Bryant was undoubtedly one of the greatest players in basketball history, he also had a reputation for being demanding and tough on his teammates, and Randle was no exception. […]

The New York Knicks looked formidable after a mid-season trade that added OG Anunoby to an already talented roster. Injuries kept them from fulfilling their full potential, but they look like 2025 NBA Championship contenders, if they bring everyone back. But that’s a big “if”. There are two key guys who can sign elsewhere without […]

Much has been made of the “Nova Knicks,” one of the more unlikely stories in recent NBA history. Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Donte DiVincenzo each won two NCAA Championships together on Jay Wright’s Villanova squad, and now they’ve reunited on the New York Knicks. Brunson and Hart recently chopped it up with Wright, even […]

With the Los Angeles Clippers suffering another disappointing playoff exit this past season, the basketball world is speculating whether the organization will break up its star trio of Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and James Harden. George’s name is now getting thrown around in the same sentences as the New York Knicks by some highly esteemed […]

Julius Randle has displayed strong improvement throughout his five seasons with the New York Knicks. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury that prevented him from playing in the 2024 playoffs, but he will return strong.

The New York Knicks head into the 2024 NBA Draft with the 24th and 25th overall selections. What they do with those picks is anyone’s guess, though it seems very likely that New York uses at least one of them in a trade. Knicks president Leon Rose has made trades on each of his drafts […]

OG Anunoby is about to get paid. The New York Knicks star is due for a contract extension after a magnificent half-season with the team.

The New York Knicks, having earned their second straight Eastern Conference Semifinals berth, are actively assessing multiple free agent choices, including that of starting center Isaiah Hartenstein. Hartenstein is set to draw significant interest in the upcoming free agency period. The experienced center has made a strong impression during his two years with the New […]

Josh Hart drew plenty of attention during the New York Knicks’ recent playoff run. Crashing the boards relentlessly while getting minimal rest, Hart tallied head-turning stats in the rebounding and minutes columns. He cemented himself as the Knicks’ energy guy and was one of the biggest reasons why New York made it to the second round. […]

New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau has developed a reputation for running his players into the ground, but Knicks star Jalen Brunson thinks that narrative is largely derived from the torn ACL Derrick Rose suffered with the Chicago Bulls back in 2012. When asked by Bleacher Report’s Taylor Rooks why Thibodeau is the coach […]

Jalen Brunson has turned into a legitimate superstar for the New York Knicks — an MVP candidate even — that it’s easy to forget his humble beginnings with the Dallas Mavericks. Many people remember how he was the breakout star of the 2022 NBA playoffs. But before that, he was a bench player for the […]

Tom Thibodeau recently completed his fourth season as head coach of the New York Knicks. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Thibodeau is set to make a significant addition to his coaching staff as the Knicks are expected to bring in Chicago Bulls assistant coach Maurice Cheeks.

The New York Knicks surprised everyone this season. They finished second in the Eastern Conference and could have advanced even farther than the second-round if not for a series of injuries. Still, the Knicks can view the season as a success. And there is a fairly obvious path to continue improving. New York possesses the […]

The New York Knicks bowed out in round two of the playoffs to Rick Carlisle and the Indiana Pacers, an outcome that took the wind of Jalen Brunson’s sails as the Knicks’ franchise savior. The Pacers’ gain was the city of New York’s loss as a potential showdown with the rival Boston Celtics never came […]

The Knicks have great interest in retaining both OG Anunoby and Isaiah Hartenstein, according to Begley. It makes sense, as […]

A huge offseason awaits the New York Knicks. After making their second consecutive appearance in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Knicks have put themselves in a position to become legitimate title contenders in the East. However, the organization enters the offseason in danger of losing key parts of their core rotation. In addition to OG […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder finished atop the Western Conference in 2023-24 before disappointingly bowing out in the second round of the NBA Playoffs. Regardless, there’s a bright future for this young, exciting squad. And knowing Sam Presti, they could very well make some moves this offseason to strengthen the roster. New York Knicks big man […]

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart gained a side gig doing analyst work for ESPN during the NBA Finals pitting the Boston Celtics against the Dallas Mavericks.

The Dallas Mavericks went from being out of the playoffs a year ago to contending for the Larry O’Brien trophy against the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals this season.

JJ Redick has been circulating the news cycle lately as rumors are he could be in the mix for the Los Angeles Lakers head coaching job. We’ll see how it plays out though, as LA is seemingly going after UConn coach, Dan Hurley. However, it sounds like Redick has some support within the NBA to […]

There are less than three weeks until the 2024 NBA Draft. Until then, plenty of rumors will continue to form, especially for a draft class that doesn’t necessarily feature a clear-cut No. 1 option at the top of the board. The Atlanta Hawks are the team tasked with kicking things off on June 26, as […]

“Draft and stash” players rarely pan out. It’s not that there is something inherently flawed with players who prefer to continue playing elsewhere. It’s that most draft and stash guys aren’t top-flight prospects. And second-tier players from around the globe can make more money elsewhere if they fail to secure a guaranteed contract in the […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are a team to watch during the 2024 NBA offseason. It is widely assumed that they will look to find another star to pair alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey with the $74 million in cap space they can potentially open up. But, things could go haywire. What if Philadelphia whiffs and […]

It’s now been 22 years since the Indiana basketball program last made an appearance in the final Final Four, and while 22 years may not seem like an eternity, for Hoosiers fans, it might as well be. Consider that since 1939, when the first NCAA Tournament was played, Indiana’s longest stretch without making an appearance […]

We have officially entered June. In 2023-24, that means all but two NBA teams have turned their attention to the NBA Draft. The draft is an opportunity for teams to upgrade rosters. And for the New York Knicks, it’s specifically an opportunity to fill some gaps needed to put together a championship roster. There aren’t […]

New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau has one year left on his five-year contract that he signed with the franchise, but he reportedly is very likely to get an extension that could be $10 million or more after the success he has had over the last few years. “League sources say that Knicks coach […]
