Knicks make free agency decision on Jose Alvarado
New York Knicks point guard Jose Alvarado is here to stay at home, according to ESPN insider Shams Charania. “New York guard Jose Alvarado is declining his $4.5 million player option and intends to sign a new three-year, $14-plus million deal to return to the Knicks, sources tell ESPN. Knicks made it a priority to […]
Knick knacks: Five Eastern teams in various states of not being the Knicks
Hey there! With the defending champs about to embark on a well-deserved summer as the defending champs, what better time than now, the oasis between the draft and the corpse of what used to be free agency, to get all high and mighty up in our perch as Knick fans and cast judgment on all […]
Landry Shamet, NBA Champion
The life of an NBA role player is one of uncertainty. Every year could be in a different city. You’re fighting for guaranteed contracts every offseason. It’s more a matter of survival than finding a true home. Some of these players evolve to the point of being not easily replaceable, allowing them to worry more […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Jesus, Martin Luther King Jr., and LeBron’
As we patiently wait to know more about Jose Alvarado’s decision, it looks like Mitchell Robinson we’ll be gone within a week. Sad day in this crib. On the bright side of things, here are a bunch of quotes from and about the two newest Knickerbockers. Tyler Nickel On the toughest pre-draft question an NBA […]

The New York Knicks’ 2026 NBA Summer League schedule in Las Vegas features four preliminary matchups starting July 10. All 30 NBA teams participate in the 11-day showcase. The Knicks’ preliminary Las Vegas schedule is as follows (all times Eastern): Following these games, teams will advance to the Summer League playoffs. Semifinals will take place […]
REPORT: Detroit adds shooting to their backcourt
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Oklahoma City Thunder have traded wing Isaiah Joe to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for two future second-round picks. With the move, Detroit adds a much-needed movement shooter to complement Cade Cunningham. Joe averaged 11.1 points in just 21.2 minutes per game last season while knocking down 42.3 percent […]
Friday Posted & Toasted Notes: James Dolan exposed, Knicks rookies, Kawhi and JB dealt?
Not a lot of stuff—I mean—going on in the past few hours as we quietly navigate the silent period between the NBA Draft and the start of free agency. But what, did you expect me to sit idly without scouring the interwebs for links? You mad if you think like that. “(Going to New York) […]
The Knicks hold draft rights to 19 players. Meet the Stash Squad!
You might or might not like what the New York Knicks did in the 2026 NBA Draft. Hell, you might or might not like the draft entirely, because there were 30 second-round picks and only one of them wasn’t traded among all the cap maneuvering and asset stockpiling across the Association. I guess it elicits […]
Thursday Posted & Toasted Notes: LaMelo goes West, Obama and Leon speak, draft bonanza
I wasn’t planning on starting the column discussing a Minnesota Timberwolves trade, let alone one involving LaMelo Ball, but here we are. YIK broke the news (at least to me) in the comments section, so kudos to him for staying on top of it. Better salute one of us than Shams, you know what I’m […]
REPORT: Timberwolves land LaMelo Ball in blockbuster trade, weaken Eastern Conference
When the offseason started, all eyes were on where Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jaylen Brown would end up. After the former got traded earlier this week, it was supposed to be the latter’s turn. And even Anthony Edwards’ name came up, not as a trade candidate this season, but as a disgruntled star who could be […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘It was tough. Thibs is a great coach’
The Knicks winning the championship is so ridiculous that Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson got Leon Rose to sit with them at the stage of their Roommates Show. If that’s not crazy enough for you to believe, you tell me what is. Here’s the latest from Rose and elsewhere. Leon Rose On firing Tom Thibodeau […]
REPORT: Knicks free agent Mitchell Robinson linked to Kings for one reason [UPDATED]
June 25, Noon Update: ESPN’s Brian Windhorst added a bit more information to the Robinson saga, saying that “There is a real possibility that (the Knicks) won’t keep Mitch Robinson.” Emphasis mine: “There is a real possibility that they won’t keep Mitch Robinson. The Knicks are working on it. They made several different moves to […]
Mitchell Robinson, NBA Champion
From 2002 to 2020, the Knicks were an abysmal franchise. I know that, you know that, the less said about it, the better. There are a lot of reasons why one of the league’s biggest teams in the biggest market stayed so irrelevant for so long. Terrible free agent signings, trades, and overall incompetence were […]
Blazers blasted for bizarre deal with new head coach Micah Nori
The Portland Trail Blazers entered the offseason searching for stability at head coach, and while they found a new man to put in charge, they have triggered league-wide backlash with how they finalized their hire. The Blazers signed former Minnesota Timberwolves assistant coach Micah Nori on what was initially described as a multiyear agreement, only […]
Knicks’ wild draft ends with several trades and two prospects
There may not have been any team that moved as much in the 2026 NBA Draft than the champion New York Knicks, who built for the future to try and dance around the salary cap for the upcoming season. The Knicks traded out of the first round last night to try and avoid paying a […]

Wednesday Posted & Toasted Notes
The Knicks entered Tuesday night with the No. 24 pick. They left with no first-round picks… but five additional second-rounders, a bag full of cash, and what feels like another Leon Rose-Brock Aller masterclass. A few notes and links… “Oh, it would be a cluster. He’s the kind of guy you want on the bottom […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Let’s go MO’
Day one of the NBA Draft is in the books… …and oh, shocker, there was a trade down completed by the Knickerbockers! Here’s the latest batch of quotes in what is likely going to become a dying Bulletin, at least throughout the dry summer. Josh Hart On the meaning of New York to the NBA […]
REPORT: Knicks fielding trade offers for 2026 NBA Draft No. 31 pick [UPDATED]
June 24, 11 a.m. ET Update: ESPN’s Shams Charania doubled down on his early report, confirming both the No. 1 (Knicks) and Not. 32 (Grizzlies) picks are pu for grabs and available for the highest bidder. The New York Knicks entered the 2026 NBA Draft with a first-round selection (No. 24 overall), but in a […]
What the Knicks’ draft-day dealing means for their tenuous cap situation
You’re telling me Leon Rose didn’t pick at No. 24 and instead decided to trade back multiple times to accumulate future second-round picks? No… it can’t be. He’d never do something like this… The Knicks entered Tuesday night with the 24th pick. They then traded back three different times (technically). They came out the other […]
Knicks, Lakers swap picks in NBA Draft; New York takes, then flips, Sergio De Larrea
UPDATE: That didn’t last long. . . . The New York Knicks came into the draft with the 24th overall pick, but they made a small swap with the Los Angeles Lakers, who held the selection directly after them. The Lakers were eyeing Baylor guard Cameron Carr, whom they asked the Knicks to select with […]

A Toast to the Champions: Thank You, 2025-26 Knicks
Dear 2025-26 Knicks, With the NBA draft hours away, the championship parade over, and the memorable and clinching game 5 over a week in our review mirror, it felt like the perfect time to pen (electronically) a letter to you. Man, what a ride it’s been. For some the ride has been just a few […]
Deuce McBride, NBA Champion
The 2026 NBA Draft begins tonight, and although it’s now a two-day event, it’s a good time to reflect on drafts of the past as we look back on last week’s post-championship jubilation and ahead to this upcoming week’s roster building period. Actually… we’re Knicks fans. We don’t exactly have fond memories of the draft. […]
Tuesday Posted & Toasted Notes
Happy Tuesday from the basement. Temperatures are set to hit 99 F later today at the place I’m typing this thing from, so I guessed it’d be better to do it now before the keyboard melted. Such is life in sunny Spain, where summers are not as cool and fun as they look. “If Robinson […]
