The Knicks won't officially announce their summer league roster until after the draft, but as of now, the team expects Iman Shumpert to participate. According to a league source, Chris Smith, J.R.'s brother, is expected to play as well. The team wants Shumpert to get reps in Las Vegas after he missed the first two-and-a-half months of the 2012-13 season while recovering from ACL surgery. The...

The Knicks haven't determined if Carmelo Anthony needs surgery to repair his torn left labrum, but as of late last week, Anthony reported that the shoulder was "feeling better," according to a league source."He said he was feeling better," the league source said. "It was improving." An MRI taken shortly after the season showed that Anthony had suffered a small tear in his left shoulder,...

We've wondered over the last few weeks if the Knicks might trade down from the 24th spot or trade out of the draft entirely. Rarely if ever has the prospect of trading up or otherwise into a better pick been discussed, yet here's Chad Ford mentioning the Knicks in his chat today : JoJo (Houston, Texas) Good afternoon, Mr. Ford!Who's is in play for the Mavs pick (what are you hearing)? ...

The Knicks are holding free agent workouts today and tomorrow . I was going to post about that, but the only name I've seen involved is that of Tony Taylor , so the words I've typed up to this point are pretty much the extent of my knowledge. But yeah, that's happening, and it happening with, I presume, the following in mind: SUMMER LEAGUE SCHEDULE Y'ALL Friday, 7/12 vs. New Orleans (1...

It's peculiar that Isiah Thomas is still talking about Knicks basketball at this point in time. It's even weirder that some people (apparently those who write for publications) care so much to hear his opinion. Thomas has "friends" in the Knicks' organization, from owner James Dolan, to college buddies Glen Grunwald and Mike Woodson. Being friendly on a personal and leisurely level is cool,...

SHUMP! Now that I've got your attention, Knicks fans, how bout we spend a few moments discussing the playoff performance of Iman Shumpert , a.k.a. Jesus Shumplesworth, a.k.a. Shumpelstiltskin, a.k.a. That Dude Norris Cole Wishes He Was. It's now been a month since the Knicks last took the court in Game 6, and I'm sure the vast majority of Knicks fans still have joy flashbacks of the...

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Louisville coach Rick Pitino, who's pretty connected in NBA circles, expects Gorgui Dieng to be drafted between 12th and 20th in the first round of next Thursday's NBA Draft. If Pitino's right, Dieng won't be available when the Knicks pick at 24. But if he's wrong, the Knicks may jump at the opportunity to take the ex-Cardinals big man. And he'd be happy to land in New...

The Knicks had a very promising season, largely in part due to the fact that Mike Woodson led his team and helped them achieve a handful of different things that hadn't been achieved in years. An Atlantic Division title, fifty-plus wins, and a playoff series' victory were all among those many things. But even so, when the pressure was on in the postseason, the Knicks were supposed to have...

Hello, friends. I hope you've been well. Lot of good music floating around the internet recently, which makes me happy. Talking about draft prospects makes me happy, too. Let's do that. Mike Muscala is not a household name, as far as college players go. The Patriot League is certainly not a hotbed for NBA prospects, and despite Muscala's dominance there he rarely saw time in the national...

Defense wins championships. This has been the mantra for the copious amount of winners in the sports world in it’s extensive history, and should be treated as more than just an ordinary cliche. Especially so in the National Basketball Association, where none of the past ten champions finished lower than ninth in Defensive Rating in their [...]
