Photo by Jevone Moore/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The calm before the storm. This is part one of what will be a two- or three-part mailbag. COVID keeps getting worse and I’m not at all sure why the NBA thinks a new season will be anything other than a class-action sacrifice offered up unto Mistress Death, but for now let’s distract ourselves with more mundane matters. Thanks to...

Photo by James Devaney/Getty Images Aw shucks. Nate Robinson might not have been a great NBA player, but he provided Knicks fans with some entertaining moments during an extremely fallow point in franchise history. Please believe me when I say that writing this article brought me no joy. The closest thing to “Knicks playing competitive sports” we’ve seen in the past nine months...

Alfred Tennyson famously wrote, “In the Spring a livelier iris changes on the burnish’d dove; In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.” In November 2020 the Knicks’ fancy turns to Kentucky and CAA. In that vein: Kidd-Gilchrist, a former No. 2 overall pick, is signing with Knicks as ESPN...

The Knicks will play for the first time in 275 days on Dec. 11 in their preseason opener against the Pistons in Detroit. Needless to say, New York should be well rested.

Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images Take it! Free agency towers over the city skyline but no one ever seems to be coming. Even if you see a tantalizing rumor, and the certainty of stardom, there’s usually no one within reach. It’s all an empty feeling in your stomach. The fanbase’s vibes on Frank Ntilikina are harsh polarities. We’re either sitting in a sauna or an...

New York but in Las Vegas. | Photo by AaronP/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images Hard not to like those odds. Not to punch you in the face for no reason whatsoever, but the Knicks are going to be among the very worst teams in the NBA and have almost no shot to win the title this season, according to the Westgate Sportsbook in Las Vegas. Westgate has the Knicks at 500-1 odds to win the...

David Kohl-USA TODAY Sports Plenty to talk about! This week, more than most, we celebrate family and give thanks. P&T is a family of sorts, one I’m thankful for, and a mailbag is the Thanksgiving table of posts: everybody brings something, everybody gets something. So whaddya got? The Knicks just drafted people, and traded people, and signed people, and failed to draft/trade/sign...

Virtual drafts are weird. | Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images Let the era of Obi commence. The Knicks announced Monday that they have officially signed first round draft pick Obi Toppin, who will further the Amar’e Stoudemire comparisons by wearing number one on his jersey, and though the signing may have been a formality, it’s still something to celebrate. ...

Photo by Tyler Ross/NBAE via Getty Images They’ve been here before. Lost in all the free agent signings for the Knicks ’ regular 15-man roster this past weekend were two players signed to two-way deals.

Photo by Scott Cunningham/NBAE via Getty Images I get it...but I kinda don’t. Did you enjoy watching the 2019-20 New York Knicks run offense? Probably not, am I right? Then you probably won’t be overly thrilled that the Knicks have decided to bring back point guard Elfrid Payton on a one-year deal, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Elfrid Payton has agreed to one-year,...
