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...

A pleasant chat with the Knicks braintrust Remember just a little over a year ago , when Phil Jackson used to go two-thirds of a year hunched in a cave deep within the bowels of Madison Square Garden, sustaining himself on a diet of peyote and non-GMO microwave burritos, emerging only to briefly address/insult the news media and give strange, vague answers? Those days are thankfully long...

Art. New York Knicks superstar Kristaps Porzingis remains in his homeland of Latvia as he rehabs his torn ACL. And I’m sure the Latvian people are grateful to have their native son. Just how much do Latvians love Porzingis ? And what form does Latvian fan love take? Kristaps himself showed off some rather peculiar fan art on his Instagram feed. So, to break this image...

Hopefully their actual free agency plan is just a tad more complex The preseason may be just two-and-a-half weeks away (!!!), but if you thought we’d escaped the offseason doldrums of news coverage, you are sorely mistaken. On NBC Sports’ Bulls Talk podcast , Celtics reporter A. Sherrod Blakely suggested that the Knicks have Kyrie Irving on their mind already as their top target in...

Searching for the most efficient shots. The other day while I was drinking my morning coffee before I began work, I was perusing the internet and came across a Nylon Calculus article as like any cool, hip person who isn’t a total NBA math herb and absolutely does not smoke a stoge every now and then when first-world problems add stress to one’s life does on a regular basis. The article asked...

Kristaps, and then what? It’s starving time in the NBA, which means rabid news jackals like myself must gnaw on the bones of any available basketball news. Well, Monday turned out to be a good day for fans who love to argue about stuff, as Sports Illustrated premiered their annual “NBA Top 100” post. So how did the Knicks do? Let’s just say...not well. Enes Kanter and Tim Hardaway...
