Instead, the Knicks took Kentucky wing Kevin Knox...

The Spurs’ decision to ship Kawhi Leonard to Canada stands as good news for the Knicks.

Magic radio analyst Richie Adubato has a Croatian neighbor who gave him a language tip. After every Mario Hezonja 3-pointer, Adubato bellowed, “Gee La Vee, Mario!” on the air. That’s a Croatian expression for “Bravo.’’ The phrase wasn’t uttered nearly enough during Hezonja’s failed three-year run in Orlando. On July 1, the 6-foot-8 forward joined...
