Saturday Posted & Toasted Notes: Big Penguin sighting, Rich whiteboards, Kuz bomb
Could you believe Cape Verde was this close to advancing in the knockout stages of a freaking World Cup!? Didn’t happen, but the African nation surely made Lionel break a sweat. Sweet goal! Anyway, links and notes… “The Knicks still have two roster spots to fill and roughly $6.5 million remaining under the second apron. […]
Knicks sign veteran big man Andre Drummond to one-year deal
The Knicks have spent the last few days searching for their new backup center after losing Mitchell Robinson to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday, and they seem to have found their man. Per Shams Charania, the Knicks have signed two-time All-Star Andre Drummond to a one-year, $3.9 million contract. The veteran big man had spent […]
How Pelicans’ Yves Missi decision impacts Knicks’ offseason
The New York Knicks keep looking for centers and big men in the free-agent and trade markets with no success to date. New York’s pursuit of backups at both the center and power forward positions is starting to get concerning, and it only intensified after losing both sixth-man Mitchell Robinson and end-of-bench Ariel Hukporti in […]
Knicks’ interest in LeBron James unclear after conflicting reports
July 3, 3:15 pm EST Update: According to New York Post reporter Stefan Bondy’s league sources, LeBron James won’t sign with the Knicks this summer. “Don’t count on LeBron James coming to the Knicks, per multiple sources. There was a ‘check in’ but no serious discussions and a union is very unlikely. ‘Not gonna happen,’ […]
Friday Posted & Toasted Notes: Murky truths, spoiler’d Lowry, new NBA rules
Spicy day around the Association on Thursday as everybody from Twitch streamers to Import Beantowners had plenty to say about everything. Here’s a bunch of links to keep you entertaining as we enter Day 4 of this new and weird No-Centers Knicks Era. “The Knicks are still waiting, searching and letting the prices settle down […]
Eastern Conference Offseason Tracker [UPDATED]
The Knicks are champions, but the rest of the Eastern Conference isn’t standing still. We’ll keep this hub updated throughout free agency with every signing, trade, waiver and notable roster move involving New York’s conference rivals. Last Updated: July 3, 2026, 1:15 p.m. EST. Atlanta Hawks Reported moves: Knicks Take: The Hawks are getting younger, […]
Why LeBron James should end his career with the New York Knicks
I’m going to preface this with the following: There’s a good chance that you are a Knicks fan reading this. A good portion will naturally see this and immediately go to the comments and say how much you don’t want this to happen. That is fine. I am not fully advocating for it either. Weighing […]
Meet two random 2026 Summer League Knicks: Treysen Eaglestaff and Toby Okani
The Knicks might be doing anything to bring in external players through free agency, but that’s reasonable considering how busy they are in filling out their Summer League roster. New York announced its roster on Thursday morning, but I had already written this post and it’s going nowhere. So instead of revealing two signings, let’s […]
State of the NBA: Parity… or just plain dumb randomness?
I have this thing happening to me. Every day I go to bed, and without fail, I always find myself waking up at around 4:30 to 5 a.m. Funny thing is, the stuff tends to work in waves; sometimes it disappears and stays that way for a month and I sleep uninterrupted nightly, then it […]
Knicks unveil 2026 Summer League roster
The Knicks have revealed their roster for the 2026 NBA Summer League, giving us a look at several young prospects and developmental pieces as the franchise begins the defense of its NBA championship. The star of the bunch is undoubtedly Mohamed Diawara, New York’s 2025 draft pick (51st). The club recently inked him to a […]
Thursday Posted & Toasted Notes: Snitchie Mitchie, no big man’s land, doc talk
Not the best day for links, as everybody was writing about Jaylen Brown and LeBron James. You’d been cool thinking those things should be separated by a good 10 years or so, but they’re not, somehow. Here are some. “Throughout the course of this run, I got help with the messaging from different people. I’m […]
76ers snatch Jaylen Brown from Celtics in blockbuster steal
When the offseason began, it felt inevitable that Jaylen Brown would spend the summer answering questions about his future, whether it happened in Boston, Milwaukee, or elsewhere. What nobody expected, however, was that those questions would end with Brown wearing a Philadelphia 76ers jersey. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Celtics traded Brown to Philadelphia […]
Celtics pry Mitchell Robinson away from Knicks on three-year deal
The Knicks are losing the longest-tenured player from their championship roster. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, free agent center Mitchell Robinson has agreed to a three-year, $47.4 million contract with the Boston Celtics. The deal reportedly includes a player option in the third season, giving Robinson the chance to re-enter free agency before turning 31. […]
Knicks drawn into suspicious East Group B for 2026 NBA Cup
In an odd development, as it coincided with the start of free agency, the NBA officially unveiled the 2026 Emirates NBA Cup groups, schedule, and a new championship venue on Tuesday. The format remains unchanged, with teams drawn into groups based on their 2025-26 regular-season records. With all that, the New York Knicks now know […]
Toronto welcomes back former Finals MVP, look to challenge the Knicks atop the conference
The Knicks and Raptors haven’t been good at the same time very often. In the late ’90s, when the Knicks made regular appearances deep into the playoffs, the Raptors were a young expansion team getting their feet wet, focused on building a foundation and a fan base. When they started to take off and Vince […]
Knicks say goodbye to Ariel Hukporti in free agency
The New York Knicks are no longer the team for Ariel Hukporti, according to ESPN insider Shams Charania. “Free agent center Ariel Hukporti has agreed to a one-year, $3.4 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell ESPN. Hukporti departs the Knicks after playing a reserve role on their title team, and gives the 76ers […]
Wednesday Posted & Toasted Notes: Kingdom come, disposable rookie, Kawhi goes North
It’s been 12 hours since the start of free agency, and the biggest news is that a 41-year-old man will take his time to decide on where he plays next. I miss the good old days. “Throughout the course of this run, I got help with the messaging from different people. I’m gonna tell you […]
REPORT: Knicks planning cost-cutting move involving rookie Jack Kayil
The free-agent market opened on Tuesday, and nobody outside Rich Paul and LeBron James made us bat an eye. It’s the new NBA economy, in which trades are the coolest kids in town. In any case, the New York Knicks have reportedly been doing business for a few days now, re-signing three players to team-friendly […]
Jalen Brunson, NBA Champion
June 30. It marks the start of free agency, an event that once meant a lot more in the NBA world. Nowadays, most star players are moved via trade. The way the NBA works, players are incentivized to sign extensions to create maximum contract value, so even if they aren’t willing to commit for the […]
Karl-Anthony Towns, NBA Champion
I don’t think there’s a more difficult Knick to evaluate than Karl-Anthony Towns. It’s not just the fact that the big man’s season looked completely different from game four of the Hawks series onwards. It’s also the fact that for much of the season, Towns’ impact on the team was hard to gauge. Even when […]
BREAKING: LeBron James to leave Lakers, enter free agency before 24th NBA season
Four-time NBA champion LeBron James is set to leave the Los Angeles Lakers and enter free agency, with plans to continue his career into a record-setting 24th season. James, who will turn 42 in December, informed the Lakers that he intends to play elsewhere next season, continuing a career that has already spanned more than […]
Knicks sign Missouri State forward, bolster Summer League roster
The Knicks are NBA champions, but they aren’t resting on their laurels. New York completed the 2026 NBA Draft with a couple of second-round rookies added to the organization, but failed to land a big man through two rounds of silliness. That could have been no problem had any of Mitchell Robinson or Ariel Hukporti […]
Tuesday Posted & Toasted Notes: Hukamania over, cap mongering, dead free agency
I always start these columns thinking there would barely be a couple of links to interesting stuff included in the bullet points, and I always end up with a massive list of stories and notes. Can’t help myself. “People around the league believe going into the second apron is worthwhile for a legit championship contender. […]
What Landry Shamet’s hometown discount means for the rest of the Knicks’ offseason
Make no mistake about it, what Landry Shamet did for the Knicks yesterday was a godsend. Despite a multitude of contenders and playoff teams potentially interested in the sharpshooter, armed with full mid-level exceptions, Shamet rewarded the team that took a chance on him deep into September in back-to-back seasons, re-upping on a four-year, $24 […]
REPORT: Knicks do not extend offer to Ariel Hukporti, making him an unrestricted free agent
The Knicks are allowing one of their young developmental projects to test unrestricted free agency, while potentially leaving themselves thinner at center. According to ESPN’s Vince Goodwill, New York will not extend a qualifying offer to center Ariel Hukporti, making the 7-footer an unrestricted free agent when free agency opens. The 24-year-old German appeared in […]
