Photo by Ashley Landis-Pool/Getty Images Ah, crap. The NBA brass is doing their damnedest to push the 2020-21 season clear our of 2020. First they moved the draft back a month, to Nov. 18. That left precious little time before the end of the year, but some people still held out hope that the league could start at Christmas. Don’t bet on it. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver doesn’t expect the...

Photo by Joe Murphy/NBAE via Getty Images He’s good. The Knicks should get him. New York is a great town and everyone loves it. Unless you’re a Sasquatch and don’t want to leave your home in the woods. That’s why it’s been confirmed that there are rumors of Giannis Antetokounmpo coming to the Garden, the Mecca. It’s a miracle just below 34th street and three blocks west of Madison...

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Merry autumn! Hey. Part one featured some Chris Paul talk and a lot of film clips . Welcome to part deux. 1) For a prospect/rookie, what would you say is the most fixable area in their game where they might be lacking? I thought of this following a LaMelo Ball vs. Killian Hayes discussion, specifically the argument over Hayes’ left-hand dominance...

Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images This is big, people. News has been slow to leak out of Camp Thibs, the multi-week training camp designed to transform the young New York Knicks from a ragtag group of boys into a hardened TEAM OF BASKETBALL MEN. HOO-RAH! There has been the occasional photo of workouts and weigh lifting — RJ Barrett looking swole as usual, Iggy Brazdeikis looking...

Should the Knicks go after either of these guys? Unfortunately, we have no say in the matter. | Photo by Brian Rothmuller/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Big names, big salaries. Everyone is focused on Chris Paul because of his connections to Leon Rose, but the Knicks could shock the world by boldly pursuing a different big-money player who has been eliminated from the playoffs, like...

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images Someone’s gotta go, apparently In his most recent mailbag, SNY’s Ian Begley fielded a question about Frank Ntilikina and whether he could (once again) be on the trade block this offseason, but offered up an extra interesting nugget in his answer : But I don’t see them trying to trade [ Ntilikina ] for a late first/early second-round pick prior to the...

Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images ONLY 7th in the MVP voting??? Loser. Despite all the rumors that the Knicks want to trade for Chris Paul , I’ll have none of it. I’m here to plant the flag on Chris Paul ’s-a-bum Island. Word on the street is he finished seventh in MVP voting this year. Great, good job, smooth effort, Chris. I suddenly want to trade several assets in...

What to expect at this closed practice. The Knicks probably have a practice sesh today. Which should be in Westchester, this much we know. Good for them, they’re getting ready for a season that has not been scheduled yet and has been pushed back by the pandy. The 2019-2020 season isn’t over yet, and the Knicks have been out of focus since March, but here at the end of September with...

Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images Two months until the draft, assuming life somehow survives. Welcome to the September mailbag. Now with fortified vitamins and minerals. 1) How mad would you be if we traded first-round picks for CP3? — The only Knick with the Knack In 1996 a pitcher named Mark Clark led the Mets with 14 wins. The past two seasons, Jacob deGrom...

The Knicks might not take a point guard?!?!? Plus the Clippers collapse and the Heat and Celtics continue their Eastern Conference heavyweight fight. Hey everyone! I’m back with a new show this week talking Knicks and NBA news. Here is the show rundown: -The Knicks are not “married to taking a point guard” in the upcoming draft. I explain why they should elope if they have to in order to...

R.J. Barrett stares at the final All-Rookie Team tallies with disdain. Or he’s looking at something happening on a basketball court. | Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images He don’t get no r-e-s-p-e-c-t. Rodney Dangerfield’s entire schtick might as well have been about RJ Barrett , because last year’s third overall pick was disrespected at every turn all season, culminating with his...

Photo by Steven Freeman/NBAE via Getty Images Workout videos will be produced! After months of conjecture, negotiations and delay, the date for the 2020 NBA Draft has officially been set as November 18. That’s right, kiddies: We still have two more months before we get to find out who our Knicks will take with the No. 8 pick (and the No. 27 pick, and No. 36 pick). But what about the...

Should the Knicks try to trade for one of these fellas? It’s a question, that’s for sure. | Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images The Knicks should only consider trading for some of these guys, but they’ll inevitably be linked to most. The teams that have already been eliminated from the playoffs must now evaluate their rosters, and, like it or not, the Knicks will surely...

Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images It doesn’t include much value, though. The Knicks undeniably have a massive hole at the point guard position, and Chris Paul is undeniably one of the greatest point guards of all time. Sadly, CP3 is also 35 years old and set to earn more than $40 million in each of the next two seasons. He might be the missing piece for some team, but the Knicks...
