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. A reply by Brooklyn Nets swingman Mikal Bridges on his tongue-in-cheek post on Instagram of his new side hustle gained a savage response from Hart. The two former […]

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. However, the Mavericks had to contend with allegations of tanking at the tail end of their 2022-23 campaign. Now-minority owner Mark Cuban is clearing the […]

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 […]

Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart have recently been going just as viral off-the-court as they have for their on-court play with the New York Knicks. Now that the Knicks have been ousted from the NBA Playoffs, Friday’s episode of their podcast could be a preview of a hilarious few months of content from the two […]

New York Knicks big man Julius Randle is being honest about his future with the team. Randle spent most of the season out of the lineup with an upper-body injury. The forward is now becoming eligible for a contract extension, and would like to remain where he is. “I’ve always said from the very beginning […]

The New York Knicks are here to stay as one of the league’s most competitive teams; this is quite a turnaround after the Knicks endured mismanagement over the greater course of the past 20 years. The Knicks came within one win away of making it to the Eastern Conference Finals, and that was with all […]

There are a bunch of things that can go wrong over the course of a season, some of which are completely out of a team’s control. How one responds to the bad luck element that plagues all franchises at one point or another can have a deeply profound impact on a locker room and on-court […]

The New York Knicks 2023-24 season marked another year of progress. They built on their accomplishments from 2022-23 by one-upping their win total and securing the second seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs. But the Knicks still came up short. Sure, fans can rationalize the team’s failures by leaning on injuries, which is a fair […]

The New York Rangers NHL Playoffs series against the Florida Panthers moved back to the Big Apple on Thursday, so some New York Knicks stars were in attendance to show their support.

On Monday, Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics clinched their spot in the NBA Finals for the second time in three years with a narrow road win over the Indiana Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. While the Celtics did not exactly play dominant basketball against (stop if you’ve heard this before) […]

The New York Knicks are in unfamiliar territory. They are coming off of a fairly successful season. But New York can’t be satisfied with consecutive playoff eliminations. Sure, the Eastern Conference Semifinals are great, but it’s been 51 years (and counting) since the Knicks won a championship. They are beyond overdue, but they are closer […]

The New York Knicks just completed a Cinderella season, sort of. They dealt with a number of injuries before succumbing to the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. But with Mitchell Robinson and Bojan Bogdanovic out for the entire second-round, as well as OG Anunoby missing most of it, options were […]

Madison Square Garden is always one of the most positively reviewed arenas in all of basketball. The New York Knicks’ home is always popping when the team is good, which it finally is now after a long stretch of being dormant. Opposing players talk all the time about how special it is to play at […]

The New York Knicks have some crucial decisions to make concerning OG Anunoby and Julius Randle this offseason, and how they handle Anunoby may very well impact what they decide to do with Randle. The Knicks are prioritizing Anunoby over Randle and may even consider trading Randle if it means they will get to keep […]

The New York Knicks significantly improved in the 2023-24 season. Sure, they technically only won three more games than they did in 2022-23. But last year’s playoff experience was clearly beneficial. Unfortunately, injuries robbed the Knicks of any opportunity at a deeper playoff run, and New York’s season fizzled out in the second round, again. […]

The New York Knicks’ meteoric rise was completed through an organic rebuild. It took four or five years, and it involved a new head coach and team president. It also involved draft picks, trades, and free-agent signings. While trades are more likely to impact the Knicks’ trajectory than signing other teams’ free agents this off-season, […]

The New York Knicks had an impressive 2023-24 season off the leadership of star point guard Jalen Brunson. Brunson’s stellar efforts earned him his first All-NBA honor. Esteemed Knicks supporter and NBA Analyst Stephen A Smith dropped a big claim on Brunson’s All-NBA status, shockingly dragging Mavericks guard Luka Doncic into the mix. Many predicted […]

New York Knicks president Leon Rose has played an instrumental role in legitimizing the organization in recent years. Since the former agent took over in 2020, the Knicks have made the playoffs in three of four seasons, after not qualifying in the previous seven. However, Rose has had a tradition of not speaking to the […]

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein will be one of the more coveted big men on the free-agent market this offseason, and if the Knicks do not keep him, the Oklahoma City Thunder may be the favorites to land him. The Thunder have been given +300 odds to sign Hartenstein by Bet Online Sportsbook in […]

Where the New York Knicks go from here is one of the biggest mysteries of the offseason. Back-to-back appearances in the Eastern Conference Semifinals have certainly put the Knicks in contention at the top of the Eastern Conference, yet injuries have been their downfall each of the last two seasons. Specifically, Julius Randle’s postseason absence […]

The New York Knicks already look like a major problem for the entire NBA next season and beyond. They are close to competing for their first NBA Championship in more than 30 years, but close doesn’t cut it. There were two important things missing from the Knicks’ roster in 2023-24: Health, because this season’s team […]

New York Knicks owner James Dolan was the sole dissenting vote against Toronto’s bid for a WNBA expansion team. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the WNBA Board of Governors voted unanimously, 13-0, in favor of Toronto, while the NBA’s Board of Governors had a near-unanimous vote of 29-1. Dolan’s objection is rooted in an ongoing […]

Where is Jarrett Allen going to end up this offseason if he does not return to the Cavaliers? There are a few trade options available to him. Allen was a big factor in the Cavaliers’ success this past season, especially on defense. He averaged 16.5 points, 10.5 rebounds per game, 2.7 assists per game, and 63.4% from the field. He also averaged […]

Former New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony seems to remember Jeremy Lin’s “Linsanity” craze like it was yesterday. Honestly, it does feel like it was that recent. Anthony spoke about Lin and all of the hoopla that surrounded him back in 2012 during a recent episode of his 7PM In Brooklyn podcast, and he and […]

If there’s one thing that big market teams will always try to acquire after crashing down in the NBA Playoffs, it’s more star talent. That’s why a lot of the New York Knicks faithful aren’t really shocked with jersey swap graphics. Whether it’s LeBron James, Kevin Durant, or any other big name in free agency, […]

The New York Knicks’ OG Anunoby became one of the franchise’s most exciting and memorable players during the team’s magical 2023-2024 playoff run. Now, Anunoby is “widely expected to decline his $19.9 million player option for next season” according to a report from Yahoo! Sports, which could leave Coach Tom Thibodeau’s Knicks in a bind. […]

Last season, the eighth-seeded Miami Heat advanced all the way from the NBA play-in tournament to the NBA Finals. Getting to the championship series as such a low seed is extremely rare, but it is also far from normal for a low-seeded team to even make the conference finals. Now, the Indiana Pacers are playing […]

Trade speculation is already swirling around New York Knicks big man Julius Randle following the club’s playoff exit, and the Washington Wizards could end up representing a potential destination for him. It certainly sounds strange, but the Wizards have been named the favorites to land Randle, as they have been given +300 odds by Bet […]

It felt like the New York Knicks were shortchanged by fate itself in the 2024 NBA Playoffs. They suffered a series of injuries that impacted (if not led to) their elimination at the hands of the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. While New York should be far healthier entering next season than they’ve […]

The New York Knicks fell in the second round of the NBA playoffs to the Indiana Pacers as nearly their entire rotation succumbed to injuries. Jalen Brunson, their superstar, and Bojan Bogdanovic, one of their key bench players, each went down by the end of New York’s run. With the offseason about to get underway, […]
