SLAM | Antonio Losada illustration | SLAM | Antonio Losada “State of Mind” See, this thing got started with Anthony Bennett’s name getting called first from the podium, so it’s not that we can blame anyone for making the wrong draft pick in the summer of 2013, can we? At the end of the day, the Knicks landed Tim Hardaway Jr. with a late first-round pick (No. 24), and by the time...

If Randle tells Leon Rose that he is willing to sign this offseason, will the benefits outweigh the potential downside? Julius Randle became eligible for his contract extension last week.

Will Thibs use it if so? — rf5 Here’s Randle’s career breakdown of minutes played at the 4 and the 5.

New York will host Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama in the World’s Most Famous Arena. Christmas Day just feels empty without the Knicks . Even as the team faded into mediocrity, obscurity, and comedy, the Knicks stayed on Christmas through 2018, when Tim Hardaway Jr and Mario Hezonja were being marketed as the team’s feature talent. Today, the Knicks are as talented as they’ve been in this...

NBA captains are nearly extinct today but New York is showering a deserving Jalen Brunson with praise. Hand up, I’ll be the first to admit that I had no idea captains existed in basketball anymore.
