A second year wing who’s basically still a rookie Damyean Dotson was the Knicks ’ second-round selection in the 2017 NBA Draft . On bad basketball teams — a label the Knicks certainly earned on merit last season — such players often get the opportunity to carve out a niche for themselves early in their careers. Former head coach Jeff Hornacek certainly did not feel that should be the...

Knicks said stuff! On today’s ‘sode I share my thoughts on the exercise in futility that is Media Day, including ramblings and musings on the players’ reactions to Fizdale, KP’s injury timeline, Frank and Mario’s budding BFFship, and MORE! Then I give a reasonable explanation for why it might be ok that the Knicks are going to stretch Noah. Listen!

Wait, and the what now? Among all of the Knicks media days in recent memory, the 2018 edition was trending towards being one of the more boring ones. The Knicks held a town hall and a press conference with management last week, and many of the players echoed the same sentiments of “we’re building something here, youth, CULTURE, etc.” during today’s Media Day. Well, that is, until Enes...

Bye bye. We’ve been hearing about it for weeks (months?) now, but it appears the uneasy relationship between the New York Knicks and Joakim Noah is about to come to an end. Per Marc Berman of The Post: According to sources, the buyout should finally become official either Monday or Tuesday, and the Knicks’ exact cap savings will depend on how much Noah is leaving on the table. ...

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 . Nevertheless, there is a very slim chance that Butler is either traded to the Knicks or comes in free agency, and there is a 100-percent chance that he is no longer a...

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 . Butler has given Minnesota a list of one-to-three teams with whom he's open to signing extension,...

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.

Taking on the two-ways The 2017-18 NBA season saw the advent of two-way contracts . This allows teams to sign two players to low-money deals that allow them to spend most of their time in the G-League, but also up to 45 days with the parent NBA team. 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...
