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 […]
REPORT: Landry Shamet set to sign discount deal with Knicks in free agency
New York Knicks champion Landry Shamet is reportedly staying in the Big Apple after the threat of free agency came with his team option declined earlier in the month. ESPN insider Shams Charania was the first to report the news. “Just in: Free agent guard Landry Shamet intends to sign a new four-year, $24 million […]
OG Anunoby, NBA Champion
In the most appropriate way, OG Anunoby had himself the most OG Anunoby season. What does that mean? Well, he averaged 16.7PPG, 5.2RPG, 2.2APG, 1.6SPG, and 0.7BPG. Besides the rebounds, those are his exact averages over his last six seasons. He was once again the standard for elite two-way consistency. The defense was once again […]
REPORT: Mutual interest between Knicks, Pelicans UFA Kevon Looney [UPDATED]
June 29, 2:30 p.m. ET Update: According to SNY’s Ian Begley, “there will be mutual interest between the Knicks and (Kevon) Looney” once free agency starts on Tuesday at 6 p.m. ET. It takes two to tango, and these two are nearly there, but as Begely hinted, there seems to be nothing set in stone […]
Monday Posted & Toasted Notes: Ja Morant imminent trade, The Expendable Warriors, Kawhi to Raptors?
It’s Monday, but don’t worry, you can work today and call your boss asking for a day off on Tuesday. Good enough reason to pitch him: the NBA’s free agency starts tomorrow, and as things stand, the Knicks have no backup center nor many other bench players in their books. Gotta follow it! “Yvess Missi: […]
REPORT: ‘Can’t rule out’ Knicks reunion with pending free agent
It’s been a few days of hearing increasing whispers about the future (or rather a lack of it) of Mitchell Robinson in New York, but outside of that, we’ve talked more about cap machinations, draft-day trades, and all sorts of other things about what or what not to do following James Dolan’s second-apron mandate. Well, […]
REPORT: Landry Shamet’s future with Knicks in question ahead of free agency
It’s been more than two weeks since the New York Knicks started calling themselves reigning NBA champions. It’s less than two days since free-agency festivities kick off, starting with negotiations between franchises and FAs at 3 p.m. ET tomorrow and the official opening of the market at 6 p.m. ET. And while it’s reasonable for […]
REPORT: Charlotte continues to hit the reset button
Just three days after shipping LaMelo Ball to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Charlotte has reportedly traded Miles Bridges to the Phoenix Suns in another franchise-altering move. The reported deal sends Bridges, a 2029 first-round pick, and a 2027 second-round pick to Phoenix in exchange for Grayson Allen, Royce O’Neale, and an unprotected 2033 first-round pick. Charlotte […]
Mikal Bridges, NBA Champion
Everyone in life is under some sort of pressure. Whether it’s a massive responsibility in your job, your family, or your education, there’s always something riding on your decisions. That’s a fact of life. Pressure can be a good thing, it can get the most out of you. As the old saying goes, pressure creates […]
Sunday Posted & Toasted Notes: Mitch talks, FA market nuggets, Jaylen Brown has lost it
Good morning to everybody brave enough to wake up at all on Sunday. Double shout-out to the tiny crop of nutsos reading this, y’all the real MVPs. Time for some links! “Analytics nowadays (are) used to discredit and control narratives. Roll the ball out, (and) none of these guys better than me on both ends. […]
Knicks’ Mitchell Robinson breaks silence on free agency: ‘Very a possibility’
After spending a week, if not two, celebrating the 2026 NBA championship nearly non-stop, the New York Knicks are back in business. New York and Jose Alvarado pacted a delay to his player option, and on Friday, Alvarado finally rejected it only to, reportedly, sign a three-year deal. Up next, things will get a bit […]
Knicks sign St. John’s guard to Summer League deal
Fresh off winning the NBA championship and wrapping up the 2026 NBA Draft with a couple of new faces now part of the organization, the New York Knicks keep shaping their roster.

Which current Knicks will have their numbers retired?
How incredible is it that an article like this can be written seriously after what we went through the last 20 years? It’s been a few weeks since the Knicks lifted the Larry O’Brien Trophy and put themselves into the history books. With the NBA Draft now behind us and a brief lull before the […]
Josh Hart, NBA Champion
Since the day the Knicks traded for Josh Hart, no player has become my favorite Knick faster. Josh Hart is New York. He embodies the same grit, toughness, and blue-collar mentality that made John Starks and Anthony Mason icons in the ’90s, the team that will always be “my Knicks.” Braids or no braids, nobody […]
Open Thread: If Mitchell Robinson leaves, where do the Knicks turn next?
Mitchell Robinson, the longest-tenured Knick, is drawing googly eyes from suitors in free agency, and recent reports suggest a return to New York is increasingly unlikely. Robinson has been with the organization since New York selected him with the 36th pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. Eight years later, he finally helped deliver the franchise’s […]
Saturday Posted & Toasted Notes: Jose’s home, Katz bomb, Summer League basketball
I went to sleep yesterday with the Knicks having nine players on their roster, and I woke up to the news that we now have ten. S/o mi hermano Jose Alvarado. “The Knicks’ front office understands that dipping below the second apron would lead to much of its depth flocking elsewhere, which is why, despite […]

June 27, 6:30 a.m. ET Update: Front Office Sports confirmed the New York Post’s initial report of Mitchel Robinson’s “unlikely” return to the Knicks.

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.
