Last year’s first-round pick worked his way through shooting and defensive struggles. It’s never easy being a first-round pick...but when you’re made a top-ten pick by the New York Knicks, with their rabid fanbase and lengthy history of failure? Well, consider that as tough of a situation as one could enter. Kevin Knox was selected at No. 9 overall in last year’s NBA Draft and there was...

The Blockness Monster gets his due The NBA playoffs are almost at their conclusion, which of course means that we’re in NBA superlatives season, where all of the “All-Whatever” teams and awards get announced. The Knicks , being a 17-65 team, really didn’t have a lot to look forward to during NBA awards season except for the All-Rookie nominations. Luckily, the results (mostly) didn’t...

How mischievous of our Knicks The Knicks ’ very un-secret pursuit of Kevin Durant may be even more un-secret than we could have possibly imagined. The Knicks’ next big event of the offseason is spending their top-three pick on June 20 at the draft, but, with all due respect to RJ Barrett or Ja Morant, a lot of the focus around the Knicks is now turning to 6 p.m. on June 30 and Kevin...

The Arizona product showed off his versatility and energy at the G League and NBA level. There are a quite a few NBA players who may not be the biggest, fastest, or most skilled, but carve out a unique and valuable role on a team thanks to their energy level. Kadeem Allen honestly turned a lot of heads around this past season. A former 2017 second-round pick by the Boston Celtics , ...

Shucks. With all the fun of imagining big-name free agents signing with the Knicks this summer comes a dark side: the possibility of losing some of the youngsters to the salary cap crunch. High on that list of potential losses is point guard Frank Ntilikina. According to Marc Berman of The New York Post , the Knicks will look to trade the Frenchman for a draft pick and cap space: They...

Meanwhile, the Knicks’ braintrust has been eerily silent With the Knicks now comfortably nestled into the third pick of the draft and visions of Zion Williamson snuffed out completely , the focus over the last couple of days has switched to who the Knicks will take when their time comes on draft night: Ja Morant or RJ Barrett ? A lot of that obviously hinges on what No. 2 Memphis...

Stay out of the pool, unless it’s for physical therapy. While most of our attention was turned toward the draft and who will be a Knick this June, a little bit of news may have slipped in under the radar. The inimitable Shams Charania tweeted out this afternoon that Damyean Dotson had to have shoulder surgery. Thankfully he will be back in action when it starts to really count. New...

.................sigh................ My first lottery-night diary came in 2015 . The Knicks had high hopes of winning the top pick that year, but fell two spots behind where their record stood. They still ended up with one of the two best players from that draft. I don’t know if that will happen again. I’m here to talk about what did happen last night. Confession, they say, is good for the...

Look on this pick ye mighty and despair. There it is, folks. The lottery happened and the Knicks dropped down. I thought for sure they’d drop to fifth and it felt like a certainty when the Lakers jumped the line. Nevertheless here we are. Zion Williamson will go to New Orleans and help David Griffin try to salvage the Pelicans ’ immediate future. Whether he’s enough to keep Anthony...

Hey history, repeat yourself tonight, would ya? It can be easy to forget that anything has ever gone right for the Knicks , but 34 years ago this week the team won the first ever NBA draft lottery, which led to the team taking Patrick Ewing and 15 seasons of competitive basketball in New York. Tonight will either end up as one of the most important nights in franchise history or just...

I’m just writing what we’re all fearing. Yesterday in part one we looked at the lottery teams most worthy of landing the top pick and Zion Williamson . Today we get into the hell nahs. (Heads-up: I didn’t break down Philadelphia’s karmic debt because I don’t have it in me to imagine that hotbed of cynicism lucking into another future All-Star.) Level 3: Nah-uh MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES ...

You mean they’re going to sign non-stars too? The biggest night in recent Knicks history has nearly arrived, but regardless of how the ping pong balls play out Tuesday night the team will have a plethora of roster decisions to make this summer, and a new report says multiple members of this year’s Boston Celtics could wind up in the Orange and Blue next season. It’s no secret that the...

Not including the Knicks. They won’t get him. Tuesday night the NBA holds its draft lottery, a.k.a the Knicks’ playoffs. Though New York finished with the worst record, which used to mean something, this lottery ain’t your daddy’s: per Forbes’ Tommy Beer , “Due to the reformated [sic] lottery, there is a far greater chance (59.9%) that the Knicks draft fourth or fifth overall, than land in...
