It is premature to throw the word “hope” around New York’s chances to contend in 2018-19, but the Knicks’ future prospects have shined in Las Vegas.

Former Knicks forward Charles Oakley was arrested in Las Vegas and charged with committing a fraudulent act while gambling.

While the Knicks have two eyes on the summer of 2019, Scott Perry says they will keep their options open for the rest of this offseason.

In the Knicks 82-75 Summer League loss to the Celtics, second-round pick Mitchell Robinson stole the show.

Could Jimmy Butler and Kyrie Irving be teaming up on the Knicks in 2019?

The Knicks will go after Kevin Durant if he elects free agency in the summer of 2019.

Many athletes around the world have FIFA World Cup fever, but none other than Knicks teammates Frank Ntilikina and Mario Hezonja. They even have a side bet on the final match.

Knicks legend Charles Oakley has reportedly been arrested for cheating in a Las Vegas casino.

The former Knicks forward could be headed back to New York in the next couple of days.

Knicks president Steve Mills and GM Scott Perry didn’t rebuttle O’Quinn’s tanking comments. Instead, they diverted when asked what to make of them.
