Saturday Posted & Toasted Notes: Cultural punches, aliens copying Jalen, sensei Randle
Less than a month after playing a competitive game, the Knicks were back on a court doing some goofy play. Here are some links and notes before New York gets back to it against a familiar foe later today. “I got to do way better. I think the level that we take back is, like, […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Hey, listen, they got roles in the league, man’
We so back the Knicks even played basketball yesterday. It was a Summerbeating at the hands of the Neighbor Nets, but that’s the only place Brooklyn can beat New York these days. Here’s the latest from Las Vegas. T.J. Saint On Tyler Nickel: “I’ve been most impressed with Nickel’s defense.” On Mohamed Diawara, Pacome Dadiet, […]
SummerNets 91, SummerKnicks 65: Scenes from a shining Knickel
NBA Summer League is a weird funhouse mirror. Excel there (like when Kevin Knox scored 29 points against the Lakers), and a player might be declared a franchise cornerstone. Drop a stinker (as Mohamed Diawara did yesterday, with seven points on 1-of-9 shooting), and some will call the player a bust. Both are overreactions—but it […]
Game Thread: SummerKnicks vs. SummerNets, July 10, 2026
Skip the Cirque du Soleil, go past the roulette table, and head straight to the basketball court, because Summer scrimmages are back in Vegas, baby! Will the games be pretty? Unlikely.

P&T July mailbag invite
Before the month of July became the seventh month of the year, it used to be Quintilis, the fifth. And if mi abuela had wheels, she’d be una bicicleta. Are there no absolutes in this topsy-turvy time? There never were! But have no fear: the P&T July mailbag invite is here, to lend a sense […]
Five storylines to watch as the SummerKnicks kick off in Vegas
It’s only been 27 days since the Knicks lifted the Larry O’Brien Trophy on a warm Saturday night in San Antonio, but in those four weeks, a lot of things have happened. From the NBA Draft to free agency to the second apron math in trying to retain the championship core, it feels like the […]
Knicks are dodging the second apron . . . for now
The New York Knicks had to make some difficult decisions this offseason in regards to their salary cap. They wanted to retain as many members of the championship team as possible, but it came at a price they weren’t necessarily willing to pay. It ultimately resulted in losing center Mitchell Robinson, who signed a three-year […]
Swapping centers, shifting strategies
As our focus shifts to next season, the Knicks enter unfamiliar territory as they prepare to defend a championship. While visions of championship celebrations will forever live on in our minds, New York’s front office continues navigating the realities of a salary cap and that second apron nonsense. The most notable casualty of that reality […]
Friday Posted & Toasted Notes: Sin City Saints, Hart-Mitch undercooked beef, OAKAAK things

Thursday Posted & Toasted Notes: SLAM’d OG, Brunson in Chicago, Sidetalk Drummond
Not a lot going on, but I still found a few interesting links and clips, and a few notes from everything else going on around the L. Paul Pierce would have to do in the absence of Stephen A. Smith. shrughemoji “I think no matter what, I was able to stay grounded because of my […]
Waiting for Mike Brown, Part 2
Part 2: Any minute now Read part 1 here. Outside of Eye Designs of Westchester, I squint like Clint Eastwood through the sun at the VW Beetle. Unlike Clint, I’m not cool.

Wednesday Posted & Toasted Notes: Knifed burner, no more Looney Tunes, C’s No. 4
Today I feel a bit unwell, so here’s a brief dose of links and notes. “LeBron can influence the balance of power in the conference,” the executive said. ‘He’s not a driver, not on a night-to-night basis. [But] having him around, he picks and chooses his spots. ‘I wonder how he would fit with Kenny […]
Waiting for Mike Brown, Part 1
Part 1: He’ll probably be here today I’m in Scarsdale, standing outside of Eye Designs of Westchester, and waiting for Mike Brown, head coach of the NBA Champion New York Knicks. This is where Brown goes for glasses, and if my calculations are correct, today would be his six-month checkup. Or tomorrow. Or one day […]

July 8, 2:45 p.m. EST Update: The New York Post’s Stefan Bondy got the final contract figures.

Tuesday Posted & Toasted Notes: Mo’s turn, Andre vs. Mitch, veterans on parade
Shouts out to the World Cup organizers for placing Spain’s games all at 9 p.m. in my time zone, which is definitely better than having to wake up at 2:30 a.m. to watch the Knicks play. On to your daily links and notes. “Drummond, on the other hand, is a much more one-dimensional defender. He […]

Can the Knicks strike gold twice with the Jordan Clarkson archetype?
With limited roster and cap space, the Knicks made a pretty big gamble about a year ago in free agency. While using their mid-level exception on Guerschon Yabusele would prove to ultimately be riskier, it was pretty eye-opening to see the team sign Jordan Clarkson, a high-usage, low-shot-quality microwave scorer who had played on a […]
Knicks, Lakers linked to Jonas Valanciunas as Nuggets’ contract deadline nears
