Hot dogs are sandwiches! Wednesday morning, P&T Slack: “Anyone free to interview Kevin Knox and eat some sandwiches tomorrow morning?” Reader, I was. I am always available to meet Knicks and eat sandwiches. The connection between these two things was never made apparent, but when the sandwiches are free you don’t ask too many questions. Arrangements were made and soon your intrepid...

He’s not our guy. On today’s ‘sode I start off by rolling dolo and presenting my case for why the Knicks should NOT trade for Jimmy Butler under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. After that spirited diatribe I finish my conversation with Matt Miranda by discussing what jersey numbers the Knicks should retire and why the Knicks’ backcourt is ALMOST CERTAINLY NOT the worst backcourt in the East. ...

Big news the other day, everyone. Jimmy Butler is interested in being traded to the New York Knicks ! Well ... his first team is the Los Angeles Clippers and then the Knicks ... and also the Brooklyn Afterthoughts Nets .

Interesting... Jimmy Butler’s much-ballyhooed meeting with Tom Thibodeau finally happened on Tuesday, and, well, it’s safe to say it didn’t go all that well for the Timberwolves: Jimmy Butler has requested a trade from the Minnesota Timberwolves, league sources tell me and @JonKrawczynski .

Some confusing news to get you through the middle of your week It’s been considered kind of an inevitability over the summer that the Knicks would look to deal Courtney Lee before what’s sure to be a year full of trying out younger players like Mario Hezonja, Damyean Dotson and Allonzo Trier in Lee’s former bench shooting guard role.

With the growing role of the G-League for player development in the NBA, these players should prove to be more and more important. In the...

A pleasant chat with the Knicks braintrust Remember just a little over a year ago , when Phil Jackson used to go two-thirds of a year hunched in a cave deep within the bowels of Madison Square Garden, sustaining himself on a diet of peyote and non-GMO microwave burritos, emerging only to briefly address/insult the news media and give strange, vague answers? Those days are thankfully long...

Art. New York Knicks superstar Kristaps Porzingis remains in his homeland of Latvia as he rehabs his torn ACL. And I’m sure the Latvian people are grateful to have their native son. Just how much do Latvians love Porzingis ? And what form does Latvian fan love take? Kristaps himself showed off some rather peculiar fan art on his Instagram feed. So, to break this image...
