Posting and Toasting (New York Basketball Observer) —
Euro-stepping right past questions about Melo. Following Thursday’s summer league practice in Orlando, FL, Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek gave some insight into what the team plans to preserve from the triangle offense, if anything. Additionally, Hornacek spoke about the general focus of the coaching staff, his mindsight on player personnel, and inevitably, his thoughts on the departure ...

Ron. Phil Jackson may be gone, but the Knicks’ interim front office, helmed by Steve Mills, still has a job to do. And their first priority is to determine which of the club’s own free agents deserve a qualifying offer. Well grab your wigs, Knicks fans, because the team has setting their sights (and their QO) on famously be-coiffed rookie Ron Baker. Per Ian Begley: The Knicks are...

Paul Pierce was almost a Knick? The Clippers and Rockets stole some of the Knicks’ thunder this afternoon by announcing a blockbuster Chris Paul deal. So what does a deal between two Western Conference clubs have to do with the Knicks? A great deal, as it turns out...mostly involving Paul’s Banana Boat buddy , Carmelo Anthony. To begin...holy crap, did the Knicks ever dodge a bullet, as...

Teague played for the Indiana Pacers last season. Well, that was fast. Less than 3 hours after the Knicks released a statement announcing that Phil Jackson has left the team, we get this: With Phil out & the triangle de-emphasized, there is mutual interest between PG Jeff Teague & NYK.

We can never ever ever ever hope for hope. Many fans (and writers) are elated that the Knicks fired Phil Jackson. Our man Matt Miranda, on the other hand, Neil Gaiman once wrote a story that included a man punished to suffer never-ending nightmares. Every time a dream seemed to reach maximum horror, he would somehow escape, only to plunge into another, worser one. Imagine that...

That would be something! The whole hep basketball world may still be reeling from news that the Knicks will part ways with team president Phil Jackson, but that doesn’t mean owner James Dolan is resting on his laurels at the moment. Seriously! He’s not! Knicks owner James Dolan is targeting Toronto's Masai Ujiri to replace Phil Jackson as N.Y.'s President, league sources tell ...

Whoa. Phil Jackson will no longer be in charge of the New York Knicks, according to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne and Adrian Wojnarowski. Say what you will about these Knickerbockers, but this is a franchise whose key players aren’t afraid to burn the midnight oil. A series of rumors progressed throughout the night, with Shelburne finally confirming the news around 5 AM EST. Conversations...

This just keeps getting more and more interesting Things just keep getting weirder and weirder in the Carmelo Anthony saga. Yes, it was just this morning that Frank Isola of the New York Daily News reported that Carmelo would likely decide to not waive his no-trade clause and stay put in New York to be with his family. Melo’s separated wife La La even said as much: Carmelo's wife said...

The president doesn’t want Melo on the team. That could very well prove irrelevant. In his recent opus , Phil Jackson mouthpiece Charley Rosen called trading Carmelo Anthony an “absolute necessity.” That jibes with everything we’ve heard from the Knicks president, who can’t string together more than five sentences without reminding the world that his star forward would be better off...

Phil Jackson might just give Melo away. Those Knicks fans still holding out hope that the front office could at least swing a trade for Carmelo Anthony before they cut him loose might be in for a rude awakening. One of Melo’s most logical trade suitors, the Cleveland Cavaliers, is reportedly no longer interested in pursuing a trade. That doesn’t mean the Cavs have given up on acquiring the...

Phil remains a dumb baby. Remember when Phil Jackson and the New York Knicks seemed to put their bizarre public feud with franchise cornerstone Kristaps Porzingis behind them so they could focus on the draft? Yeah, that was a nice 36 hours or so. Fans had one day to sit back and imagine a future orange-and-blue defensive gauntlet featuring the long-limbed powers of Porzingis and...
