Interesting Dan Favale piece: Baseline sensibility is an awfully low bar to which to hold an NBA franchise. Celebrating what feels like the bare minimum of coherent thinking doesn’t sit right. But we’d be remiss not to acknowledge that, in this case, it also represents a shift in operations. The bare minimum has by and […]

From the great Ian Begley: After three days of free agency, the Knicks still have $18 million in cap space. And it doesn’t seem like they’re in a hurry to use it. Even after Sunday’s Ed Davis trade, teams were under the impression that the Knicks remain open to providing cap relief to general managers […]
Berman tried to throw a bit of a grenade into our general “feeling good about the Knicks’ front office for the first time in decades” attitude: The Knicks entered free agency with a league-high $40 million in cap space and with heady visions. They wanted to be a major playoff threat in coach Tom Thibodeau’s […]
From ESPN.com: Free-agent center Nerlens Noel and point guard Elfrid Payton have each agreed to a one-year deal worth $5 million with the New York Knicks, their agents told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Noel, who is represented by Rich Paul and Lucas Newton of Klutch Sports, has jumped around the league since being taken sixth overall […]
Here is a thread for all of the free agent nonsense. And since we are all polls, all the time now, here ya go…
From Scott Thompson: The Knicks and Jazz are in agreement on a trade that would send veteran center Ed Davis to New York, SNY’s Ian Begley confirmed. Utah will also be sending two second-round picks in the 2023 NBA Draft with Davis, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. With the Knicks declining the option for Taj Gibson, […]
From ESPN… The New York Knicks created over $40 million in salary-cap space Thursday by parting ways with six veteran players. The Knicks announced that they waived forward Taj Gibson and guards Elfrid Payton and Wayne Ellington and declined the $15.75 million team option on forward Bobby Portis’ contract. Gibson was set to make $9.45 […]
The Knicks selected Obi Toppin from Dayton with the #8 pick. He had a strong college season, but he’s also 22 years old, older than Frank Ntilikina, Kevin Knox and Mitchell Robinson. And he’s not a great defender. However, he has a strong offensive game and really, whatever your thoughts are on the pick itself, […]
Welcome to the 2020 NBA Draft! I figured we should have a draft thread. And since all of our content now is polls, I figured I’d throw some polls in here for kicks. And now, let’s have fun talking about this draft!
It’s not much of a news story, but I figure if the Knicks make an actual trade, it probably should get its own thread. Even if it’s such an odd little, sort of nothing burger move like this one. From Woj: The New York Knicks are moving up in Wednesday’s NBA draft, acquiring the Utah […]
