Dawson Powers-USA TODAY Sports Give alllllllllllll the Sims. In 2009 a Courtney Sims played 11 minutes for the Knicks in a late-season blowout vs. Detroit. Until 12 hours ago he was the only Sims in franchise history; since then the Knicks have added two. After drafting Jericho Sims last night, New York signed Aamir Sims, an unrelated, undrafted forward out of Clemson. The two-time...

Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images Good night, crazy night. After employing the Nerlens Wall at center last season, the Knicks have added the Wall of Jericho. With the 58th pick of the 2021 draft, New York selected Jericho Sims. The 6’10”, 245 lb. 22-year-old played four years at Texas, the last two as their starting center. Sims is a traditional big man, attempting but one 3-pointer...

Photo by Arturo Holmes/Getty Images What a wild ride. Just when Knicks fans nothing could top the first round of the 2021 NBA Draft, which saw the front office trade two first-round picks for a future first, a future second, and the No. 25 pick (Quentin Grimes), Leon Rose and gang got the second round to a wild start with more wheeling and dealing. Several quality guards,...

Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images Six months of rumors + two draft-night trades = ?!? Well that was unexpected. The Knicks held the 19th and 21st picks in tonight’s NBA draft but traded both: #19 to Charlotte for a future 1st-round pick, #21 to the L.A. Clippers in exchange for L.A.’s #25 pick and a 2024 2nd-rounder belonging to Detroit. With that 25th pick, the Knicks selected...

Photo by C. Morgan Engel/NCAA Photos via Getty Images The Knicks would have to trade up for this talented Razorback. Many fans who watched the recent NBA Finals marveled at just how good Mikal Bridges was and how important a player like him can be in today’s game. The ability to be a pest on defense with a knack of making spot up jump shots to space the floor, all while not needing...

Photo by Jeff Haynes/NBAE via Getty Images Tonight’s for answers. Today’s for guesswork. Tonight is the NBA Draft. People have thoughts. Here are some from the two longest- oppressed tenured writers at P&T, Joe Flynn and Matthew Miranda...soon to be hosting a Knicks podcast. Do you think the Knicks will trade up? Miranda : Yes, if only because there’s been so much talk...

Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images One of two Tennessee players likely to be taken in the first round. Projected to go in the middle of the first round, scrappy 6’4” guard Jalen Springer out of Tennessee plays a scrappy and defensive-minded brand of basketball that the Knicks coaching staff and front office will love from day one. In his only year in college, Springer posted a...

Photo by Joe Murphy/NBAE via Getty Images Such a nice smile. Imagine a Knick player with the rebounding percentage of Frank Ntilikina; the assist percentage of Mitchell Robinson; a block percentage below 1%, which is Reggie Bullock territory; a steal percentage that’s also sub-1%; win shares in the range of what Taj Gibson put up last year; and a defensive win share total between...

Photo by Joe Murphy/NBAE via Getty Images Thibs likes Deuce. There are all kinds of rumors swirling about the New York Knicks in the runup to Thursday’s NBA Draft. The Knicks have three picks between 19 and 32, and this draft is exceptionally deep. Who do they like? Well, we haven’t heard anything about team president Leon Rose’s preferences, but a clue may have dropped regarding...

Photo by Tim Nwachukwu/2021 Getty Images Not Miles McBridge. My least favorite Knick in recent years was Arron Afflalo. Not because of his game, though his one year in New York was less memorable for anything on the court than his late-season beef with Kurt Rambis over being benched for Sasha Vujacic (just writing that sentences makes me wanna put away all the sharp objects near me)....

Photo by Jeff Haynes/NBAE via Getty Images Lottery teams are reportedly uninterested in trading for New York’s two first-round picks. The New York Knicks own the 19th and 21st picks in the 2021 NBA Draft , and most observers believed they would try to package those two picks to move up, perhaps in the late lottery. But it takes two to tango, and the teams in the lottery don’t...

Some mistakes are too tempting not to repeat. This is not one of them. In seventysomething hours, the 2021 NBA Draft will begin. By the end of the night the Knicks may have made multiple 1st-round picks, including three of the top 32 selections. They could end up adding four rookies, or having traded up to make a higher pick than they currently hold. The team needs to hit on one of these...

Photo by Bryan Snyder - Pool/Getty Images Frank is day-to-day with a leg injury. The Tokyo Olympics are underway, and Team France kicked off the men’s basketball tournament by shocking Team USA, 83-76. Unfortunately for the Knicks fans and various other Frank-ophiles who woke up at 8 AM to see our hero, Frank Ntilikina sat out with a leg injury. This has been a sad trend throughout...

Photo by Scott Cunningham/NBAE via Getty Images ...and it might pave the way for Frank Ntilikina to come back? The draft is a week away, and that means free agency will be hot on its heels. The Knicks just put together one of their best seasons of the 21st century, but they’re going to face some tough decisions, with over half the roster hitting the open market. One of those names...
