I wouldn’t mind it! ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski dropped the mother of all Woj bombs on us Saturday afternoon. Reporting w/ @RamonaShelburne : Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard have been discussing free agent scenarios that could include a future with them playing together. For now, there are two clear possibilities for them to sign into the same franchise: Clippers and Knicks. Story soon. —...

Rumor has it that such a scenario is possible. The Knicks handled the draft, but free agency is when we’ll find out whether a rapid but successful rebuild can take place. The team has a handful of exciting young talents, but the front office has reportedly had its sights set on Kevin Durant all year, and despite his ruptured Achilles, a fair amount of people ‘in the know’ think KD could...

Not much of a surprise here. Woj hath spoken: The Final Four in the Kevin Durant sweepstakes has been revealed, and the Knicks are among them. The Knicks join the Brooklyn Nets , Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors as teams who will get a meeting with Durant once free agency begins on June 30, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. These meetings will be a little less...

Today we unveil epiphanies you’ll only find in the P&T mailbag. 1) “How much for D’Angelo Russell?

Smell you later? Maybe not. Sure, the pursuit of outside free agents gets all the attention these days, but we mustn’t forget that the Knicks have some players of their own on the cusp of free agency. Two such dudes are point guard Emmanuel Mudiay and big man Luke Kornet. Both could remain restricted free agents if the Knicks tender them a qualifying offer, but it appears the front...

They probably shouldn’t, though. It hasn’t attract as many eyeballs as the DeMarcus Cousins rumor , but there is another prospective free agent reportedly on the Knicks ’ wish list who probably shouldn’t be there. The Athletic’s Shams Charania mentioned on Wednesday that the ‘Bockers are considering signing point guard Terry Rozier . The Louisville alum is currently under contract with...

Whether they get a marquee free agent or not. The Knicks may or may not get a big name free agent this offseason. Irregardless. The roster needs to be fleshed out and the money must be spent! Many teams will make smaller deals with interesting players and be lauded for their shrewd, clever, slick and innovative roster building. New York’s offseason will only be branded successful if...

Why tho? There has been all kinds of weird noise on the Internet surrounding the New York Knicks and their upcoming free agency spending spree, but one particular nugget stood out Wednesday night. For one, it comes from Marc Stein, one of the most connected writers in the business. Also, it’s pretty freakin’ wild. The Knicks are weighing the prospect of extending a considerable one-year...

Yes, the Knicks should pass up signing an all-time great even if the opportunity arises Hello. My name is Shwinnypooh, and I’m a Knicks fan. I’ve endured a lot of shitty seasons. At the outset of 90% of them I convinced myself of the best case scenario coming to fruition for the Knicks. I have been right maybe once. You can definitely call me a Knicks optimist. Why? I can’t give you a...

Wow...some compliments. Earlier today, The Undefeated put out a really insightful profile on the Knicks ’ front office. You ought to get your due diligence on and check out Marc Spears’ latest . In a game dominated by people of color, it seems almost laughable that it is groundbreaking to have a front office populated in the same way. The article has great quotes from Steve Mills, David...

The former top-five pick showed a greater sense of his potential later in the season. Being a top-10 pick in the NBA Draft is no guarantee of success. Many players struggle, and do not live up to the expectations once placed upon them. Perhaps their production is a bit low. Maybe they look out of place during the games. And while it’s not always fair, these high draft picks are given most...

Goosebumps. We Knicks fans have a reputation as being a cynical lot — a couple of decades of on-court abuse will do that to a fan. Why bother getting emotionally attached to a player when he’s just going to disappoint you like the dozens who came before him? Recently drafted rookie RJ Barrett is doing his best to soften our stone hearts, however. First, he displayed an infectious sense...

Mudiay provided scoring punch all season long, and changed the narrative about his young career. Time goes fast in the world of sports. I’m pretty sure a lot of us remember first hearing about Emmanuel Mudiay as the top-notch high school recruit who took his talents to China for a year. That same kid now has four years of NBA experience. This past season saw the former seventh overall...

Dear Diary... Last night the Knicks had their highest draft pick since 1985. But the draft has experienced cancerous growth since those simpler times. The selection of players is almost secondary to the hype and hoopla, the drama, the fashion, the punditry, and a growing unease with the industry buying out young men’s career agency because “that’s what we’ve always done and they can love it...
