Mitch has a delightful Southern drawl. The New York Knicks of Summer practiced on Day 2 of their Las Vegas excursion, but not before making sure to sign first-round pick RJ Barrett .

OAKAAK, except when the front office decides to go another direction Each offseason is an opportunity for NBA teams to find some diamonds in the rough, but sometimes no matter how hard you dig, there’s only dirt.

KD ain’t walking through that door. Good! Check out this nine-second clip from a late-season Knicks/Magic game. What stands out? Hopefully you didn’t overthink it. Emmanuel Mudiay, a career 32% shooter from deep, hoists a momentum-less pull-up three with 14 seconds left on the shot clock. D.J. Augustin offers a passable contest, but he’s not selling out to bother the shot, much less...

As if that’s the only thing it hinged on NBA free agency has been open for no time whatsoever and the entire league has completely fractured. I’m sure you’ve already been pepper-sprayed with hot takes. Superstars, starters, role players and Thomas Bryants have capitalized on the mayhem.
