Saturday Posted & Toasted Notes: Scheduling, Angeleno sale, Hall of Fame
Not an impressively overloaded post, but one with some spicy topics. “But agreeing to an extension now would deprive the Knicks of one of their best trade assets, given McBride’s age, production, low salary and walk-year status. If they want to make a midseason trade to reinforce other areas of need, McBride would be one […]
P&T Interview: Ten minutes with OG Anunoby
I was vacationing in Bar Harbor, Maine, with my father and youngest son when a bizarre email crossed my phone. A marketing company was offering me ten minutes with OG Anunoby. The Knicks’ star forward had partnered with the water brand Essentia and would be making the promotional rounds in two days. Would I be […]
Important quirks, dates, and games in the Knicks’ 2026-27 schedule
On Thursday, after a few days of gradual reveals, the NBA schedule came out in full, aside from the two to-be-determined games in December pending the results of the NBA Cup. The Knicks now know where and when they’ll be playing the other 29 teams that spent the entire offseason trying to figure out how […]
NBA Reveals Full Knicks’ 2026 NBA Cup Schedule
The New York Knicks entered last season’s NBA Cup as a team with good-not-great odds of conquering it. They left it with the trophy and outright refused to raise a banner, but will ultimately find themselves hanging up two, not one, by the end of October. Ah, life. Now, the defending NBA Cup champions know […]
Wednesday Posted & Toasted Notes: Lotsa Brunson, soft deadlines, decisions and extensions
Extenuating day of work at P&T with so much NBA content around this time of the year. Would you believe it? Me neither. Links and notes below. “It will be the same. It’s something that I get to walk around with and think about when I’m — when I need to give myself a little […]
Bruises and Baskets: Building the Knicks’ Power Forward Mt. Rushmore
After carving out Mt. Rushmores for the floor generals and bucket-getters, it is time to move into the paint. The point guards gave the Knicks flash, tempo, and leadership. At the same time, the shooting guards and small forwards provided sheer scoring. However, if you truly want to understand New York Basketball’s DNA, you must […]
NBA Announces Knicks’ Ring Night, Christmas Opponents
The two biggest regular season games of the defending champion New York Knicks’ schedule have been released, as the NBA revealed Tuesday morning on Good Morning America that the Knicks would open their season by raising the banner on October 20th against the Philadelphia 76ers before squaring off with the San Antonio Spurs in an […]
R.I.P Don Nelson
When the New York Knicks needed a new head coach after the 2020 season, they didn’t merely replace David Fizdale — fired after a 4-18 start gave way to interim Mike Miller. They wanted to open up all the windows and doors and air out all the stink of the prior era. Thus, the hiring […]
Norm, sometimes you wanna go where not everybody knows your name
There is a literary trope of the traveler escaping his identity simply by crossing a border. Kings become strangers, heroes become ordinary men, princes become paupers. For those burdened by an oversaturation of fame, especially a person with a more sensitive temperament, the escape must be tantalizing: why not abscond someplace where the role you […]
Sunday Posted & Toasted Notes: Tired OG, rookie deals, no third big
Nearly a week to put together a large enough amount of links and notes; that’s how it goes… “I was dealing with a lot. I was super depressed. My dad was rushed to the hospital, and my dad passed away while I was on the court. And then my dad died, then my coach died […]
Knicks Domino Effects: What if Julius Randle never gets injured?
Most of the time, you don’t know when a singular moment can define a franchise. I don’t think any of us expected that when the Knicks signed Jalen Brunson or hired Leon Rose, but the impact of making those decisions has put the franchise on a course towards ending their 53-year championship drought and bringing […]
Jack Kayil headed overseas; Tyler Nickel expected to go pro
The Knicks’ two second-round picks remain without NBA contracts, but each appears to have a clear path forward. The first, Jack Kayil, announced Friday that he’ll spend the 2026-27 season with Alba Berlin rather than join New York immediately. As reported by Ian Begley (SNY), the move had long been viewed as the most likely […]
Knicks Small Forward Mt. Rushmore: Buckets, Hardware, and Chaos
Over the past few weeks, both the point guard and shooting guard Mt. Rushmore have sparked a lot of great conversation and insight. Shifting our attention to the small forwards, I expect this rendition of the mountain to do the same. For the Knicks, the three-spot is not just another position. It is a goldmine […]
P&T pop quiz: Hypothesizing if the Knicks had lost the Finals
You have the entire class period to complete the quiz. Answers should be neatly written in the comment section. Do not fill in the “DO NOT FILL IN” section. When you’re done, you may sit quietly until the bell rings. If you have any questions, you’re in the right place. Good luck. NAME:DATE:CLASS:PROF. MIRANDA — […]
On this date in Knicks history: Knicks acquire Jamal Crawford
On August 5, 2004, the Knicks acquired Jamal Crawford and Jerome Williams from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Othella Harrington, Frank Williams, Cezary Trybański, and Dikembe Mutombo. The Knicks were already a few years into a plague of nine-straight losing seasons when Crawford’s ship reached our shore. Those teams rarely gave you much to […]
Tyler Nickel situation emerges as Knicks shape 2026-27 roster
The New York Knicks found a couple of promising young players in the second round of the 2026 NBA Draft one day after moving entirely out of the first round to preserve some cap space and avoid stepping into second-apron territory. Both Jack Kayil and Tyler Nickel topped expectations last month during the Summer League, […]
NBA champion Trey Jemison III signs with Eastern Conference rival
Former Knicks two-way center Trey Jemison III is signing with the Toronto Raptors, per Chris Haynes. He will be getting the same two-way contract he had in New York. Jemison’s career has taken him on a bunch of different roads since going undrafted in 2023 after spending time at Clemson and UAB in a long […]
Tuesday Posted & Toasted Notes: Roses for Rosas, more ranks, some Jeremy Sochan
Another day in August means bad news for sports fans. Good news for me, it’s kinda cloudy and rainy today so I can’t complain. Links and notes below. “I’m in good shape. My finger is fine, and the operation went well. I’m back on the court and excited to start the season.” “I didn’t want […]
Knicks Front Office Member Announces Exit After 2026 NBA Championship
The New York Knicks will enter their championship defense without one of the executives who helped build their title-winning roster we all came to enjoy and love. Knicks senior vice president of basketball operations Gersson Rosas is leaving the organization after four seasons in New York. Rosas announced his departure through an Instagram post celebrating […]
The New York Knicks don’t need to be way better, but they could be
SB Nation’s Ricky O’Donnell, who along with the excellent James Dator comprise about 100% of the site’s NBA “staff,” wrote about seven teams he expects to be much improved this season. The Knicks are not one of the seven; their only mention in the piece is to say Philadelphia can match up with anyone in […]
Former Knick Guerschon Yabusele opens up about his time in New York, transition back overseas
Guerschon Yabusele will forever go down as a weird blip in Knicks history. Many years down the line, the Frenchman’s name will be brough up in trivia and reminiscing conversations, not just for his very tumultuous time as a Knick, but also for the incredibly selfless gesture he made that allowed the Knicks to acquire […]
Jeremy Sochan no longer an option after signing one-year deal with Portland
As the Knicks continue their prolonged search for a third string center, Jeremy Sochan, who came over to New York midway through last season, remained an option to fill that spot. The big man played very sparingly, appearing in only 16 regular season games. But out of all of the remaining options, his youth and […]
Why Kenny Sears matters in life
There is an active NBA player whose career is already the envy of many of his peers. This player has: By 2050, when climate and social chaos have killed off pro sports, this player will be long-forgotten. If not before. That player is not Kenny Sears, inactive from the NBA since 1964 and the mortal […]
Way-too-early look at the 2028 LA Olympics: Which Knicks will participate?
It’s been a while since an active Knick played in the Olympics. If you don’t count Evan Fournier in 2021 because he hadn’t played a game in the orange and blue yet, the last Knick to represent his country was Carmelo Anthony at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics for Team USA, winning a gold […]
Saturday Posted & Toasted Notes: Dolan’s hopes, challenges and tiers, Dillon the Villain
For a day smacked in the middle of the summer, kicking off August, and with most definitely nothing going around, I can’t believe I got this thing to go past 850 words. Links and notes. “The 76ers’ length: The ‘Wingstop’ duo of OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges was brought in with the Celtics’ wing duo […]
