NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Knicks starting center Taj Gibson has always adored Tom Thibodeau, who groomed him in Chicago and then brought him over to Minnesota.

The cold-shooting Knicks went into the All-Star break with a whimper and a two-game losing streak. Mike Miller’s crew stumbled badly Wednesday against the Wizards, 114-96, as Bradley Beal punished them for 30 points and the Knicks shot just 38 percent — 9.1 percent from the 3-point line. After shooting just 2 of 22 from...

At least Knicks branding consultant Steve Stoute did some good on his infamous ESPN appearance on Tuesday.

Julius Randle is the only one of seven players signed by the Knicks as free agents last summer with a fully guaranteed deal for next season. Steve Mills’ firing and the pending addition of longtime NBA agent Leon Rose as team president likely mean few roster spots are safe, but Randle has played his best...

The basketball mover and shaker known as “World Wide Wes’’ apparently won’t join the Knicks after all.
