REPORT: Charlotte continues to hit the reset button
Just three days after shipping LaMelo Ball to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Charlotte has reportedly traded Miles Bridges to the Phoenix Suns in another franchise-altering move. The reported deal sends Bridges, a 2029 first-round pick, and a 2027 second-round pick to Phoenix in exchange for Grayson Allen, Royce O’Neale, and an unprotected 2033 first-round pick. Charlotte […]
Mikal Bridges, NBA Champion
Everyone in life is under some sort of pressure. Whether it’s a massive responsibility in your job, your family, or your education, there’s always something riding on your decisions. That’s a fact of life. Pressure can be a good thing, it can get the most out of you. As the old saying goes, pressure creates […]
Sunday Posted & Toasted Notes: Mitch talks, FA market nuggets, Jaylen Brown has lost it
Good morning to everybody brave enough to wake up at all on Sunday. Double shout-out to the tiny crop of nutsos reading this, y’all the real MVPs. Time for some links! “Analytics nowadays (are) used to discredit and control narratives. Roll the ball out, (and) none of these guys better than me on both ends. […]
Knicks’ Mitchell Robinson breaks silence on free agency: ‘Very a possibility’
After spending a week, if not two, celebrating the 2026 NBA championship nearly non-stop, the New York Knicks are back in business. New York and Jose Alvarado pacted a delay to his player option, and on Friday, Alvarado finally rejected it only to, reportedly, sign a three-year deal. Up next, things will get a bit […]
Knicks sign St. John’s guard to Summer League deal
Fresh off winning the NBA championship and wrapping up the 2026 NBA Draft with a couple of new faces now part of the organization, the New York Knicks keep shaping their roster. Yes, we’re all still waiting for the literal elephant in the room to announce the inevitable, but for now we’ll have to do […]
Which current Knicks will have their numbers retired?
How incredible is it that an article like this can be written seriously after what we went through the last 20 years? It’s been a few weeks since the Knicks lifted the Larry O’Brien Trophy and put themselves into the history books. With the NBA Draft now behind us and a brief lull before the […]
Josh Hart, NBA Champion
Since the day the Knicks traded for Josh Hart, no player has become my favorite Knick faster. Josh Hart is New York. He embodies the same grit, toughness, and blue-collar mentality that made John Starks and Anthony Mason icons in the ’90s, the team that will always be “my Knicks.” Braids or no braids, nobody […]
Open Thread: If Mitchell Robinson leaves, where do the Knicks turn next?
Mitchell Robinson, the longest-tenured Knick, is drawing googly eyes from suitors in free agency, and recent reports suggest a return to New York is increasingly unlikely. Robinson has been with the organization since New York selected him with the 36th pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. Eight years later, he finally helped deliver the franchise’s […]
Saturday Posted & Toasted Notes: Jose’s home, Katz bomb, Summer League basketball
I went to sleep yesterday with the Knicks having nine players on their roster, and I woke up to the news that we now have ten. S/o mi hermano Jose Alvarado. “The Knicks’ front office understands that dipping below the second apron would lead to much of its depth flocking elsewhere, which is why, despite […]
REPORT: Knicks’ Mitchell Robinson expected to leave, reasons for letting him go emerge [UPDATED]
June 27, 6:30 a.m. ET Update: Front Office Sports confirmed the New York Post’s initial report of Mitchel Robinson’s “unlikely” return to the Knicks. The most important nugget, however, is that the FOS’ source revealed why New York actually doesn’t want to get into the second apron by bringing Mitch back. “League sources confirmed the […]
Knicks make free agency decision on Jose Alvarado
New York Knicks point guard Jose Alvarado is here to stay at home, according to ESPN insider Shams Charania. “New York guard Jose Alvarado is declining his $4.5 million player option and intends to sign a new three-year, $14-plus million deal to return to the Knicks, sources tell ESPN. Knicks made it a priority to […]
Knick knacks: Five Eastern teams in various states of not being the Knicks
Hey there! With the defending champs about to embark on a well-deserved summer as the defending champs, what better time than now, the oasis between the draft and the corpse of what used to be free agency, to get all high and mighty up in our perch as Knick fans and cast judgment on all […]
Landry Shamet, NBA Champion
The life of an NBA role player is one of uncertainty. Every year could be in a different city. You’re fighting for guaranteed contracts every offseason. It’s more a matter of survival than finding a true home. Some of these players evolve to the point of being not easily replaceable, allowing them to worry more […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Jesus, Martin Luther King Jr., and LeBron’
As we patiently wait to know more about Jose Alvarado’s decision, it looks like Mitchell Robinson we’ll be gone within a week. Sad day in this crib. On the bright side of things, here are a bunch of quotes from and about the two newest Knickerbockers. Tyler Nickel On the toughest pre-draft question an NBA […]

The New York Knicks’ 2026 NBA Summer League schedule in Las Vegas features four preliminary matchups starting July 10. All 30 NBA teams participate in the 11-day showcase. The Knicks’ preliminary Las Vegas schedule is as follows (all times Eastern): Following these games, teams will advance to the Summer League playoffs. Semifinals will take place […]
REPORT: Detroit adds shooting to their backcourt
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Oklahoma City Thunder have traded wing Isaiah Joe to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for two future second-round picks. With the move, Detroit adds a much-needed movement shooter to complement Cade Cunningham. Joe averaged 11.1 points in just 21.2 minutes per game last season while knocking down 42.3 percent […]
Friday Posted & Toasted Notes: James Dolan exposed, Knicks rookies, Kawhi and JB dealt?
Not a lot of stuff—I mean—going on in the past few hours as we quietly navigate the silent period between the NBA Draft and the start of free agency. But what, did you expect me to sit idly without scouring the interwebs for links? You mad if you think like that. “(Going to New York) […]
The Knicks hold draft rights to 19 players. Meet the Stash Squad!
You might or might not like what the New York Knicks did in the 2026 NBA Draft. Hell, you might or might not like the draft entirely, because there were 30 second-round picks and only one of them wasn’t traded among all the cap maneuvering and asset stockpiling across the Association. I guess it elicits […]
Thursday Posted & Toasted Notes: LaMelo goes West, Obama and Leon speak, draft bonanza
I wasn’t planning on starting the column discussing a Minnesota Timberwolves trade, let alone one involving LaMelo Ball, but here we are. YIK broke the news (at least to me) in the comments section, so kudos to him for staying on top of it. Better salute one of us than Shams, you know what I’m […]
REPORT: Timberwolves land LaMelo Ball in blockbuster trade, weaken Eastern Conference
When the offseason started, all eyes were on where Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jaylen Brown would end up. After the former got traded earlier this week, it was supposed to be the latter’s turn. And even Anthony Edwards’ name came up, not as a trade candidate this season, but as a disgruntled star who could be […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘It was tough. Thibs is a great coach’
The Knicks winning the championship is so ridiculous that Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson got Leon Rose to sit with them at the stage of their Roommates Show. If that’s not crazy enough for you to believe, you tell me what is. Here’s the latest from Rose and elsewhere. Leon Rose On firing Tom Thibodeau […]
REPORT: Knicks free agent Mitchell Robinson linked to Kings for one reason [UPDATED]
June 25, Noon Update: ESPN’s Brian Windhorst added a bit more information to the Robinson saga, saying that “There is a real possibility that (the Knicks) won’t keep Mitch Robinson.” Emphasis mine: “There is a real possibility that they won’t keep Mitch Robinson. The Knicks are working on it. They made several different moves to […]
Mitchell Robinson, NBA Champion
From 2002 to 2020, the Knicks were an abysmal franchise. I know that, you know that, the less said about it, the better. There are a lot of reasons why one of the league’s biggest teams in the biggest market stayed so irrelevant for so long. Terrible free agent signings, trades, and overall incompetence were […]
Blazers blasted for bizarre deal with new head coach Micah Nori
The Portland Trail Blazers entered the offseason searching for stability at head coach, and while they found a new man to put in charge, they have triggered league-wide backlash with how they finalized their hire. The Blazers signed former Minnesota Timberwolves assistant coach Micah Nori on what was initially described as a multiyear agreement, only […]
Knicks’ wild draft ends with several trades and two prospects
There may not have been any team that moved as much in the 2026 NBA Draft than the champion New York Knicks, who built for the future to try and dance around the salary cap for the upcoming season. The Knicks traded out of the first round last night to try and avoid paying a […]
