Knicks Bulletin: ‘I’m a little disappointed’
We so back the Bulletin is already here. Meanwhile, JB was doing his thing on SNL and Deuce McBride has some saucy comments to share with a fellow Knickerbocker scribe ahead of his contract year. Here’s the latest from around some places, and remember, we’re just 24 hours from Knicks Media Day! Miles McBride On […]
Jalen Brunson hosts Saturday Night Live, brings friends
Jalen Brunson hosted the 52nd-season premiere of Saturday Night Live last night, becoming the fifth NBA player to host the show and doing so three months after winning Finals MVP. That and the big block party last week feel like cherries on top of the championship summer, dovetailing nicely into Media Day tomorrow and training […]
SNL Thread: Join us in watching Jalen Brunson host tonight!
After a week of preparation, NBA champion Jalen Brunson will walk the tightrope of hosting Saturday Night Live tonight. The newly crowned King of New York joins an elite club as one of the few NBA players ever to host the show, following Bill Russell, Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James. The fact that […]
Saturday Posted & Toasted Notes: KAT talks, falling stars, camp decisions, life choices
Back-to-back daily Notes posts are all you need to know to start believing the season is right around the corner, starting with Monday’s media day. Can’t wait! “I love Brunson’s game, but his lofty ranking benefitted not only from recent bias but also from the New York media bias. (That bias might also help you […]
Friday Posted & Toasted Notes: KAT’s bag, Jordy McClarkson, salty RJ, married Pop
You know things are gearing up when you cook a fresh list of links and notes spanning just three days’ worth of news, and it already goes up to nearly 1K words. We’re so close to basketball, folks! “I didn’t play for like a month, but me just being a pro, I had to stay […]
Can the Knicks afford to play hardball with Karl-Anthony Towns?
Ah, training camp. Finally back into the swing of things with basketball. It really is a lot more peaceful as defending champions, isn’t it? Let’s see what’s going on as Media Day nea- Ah, I guess we were overdue for something negative. Karl-Anthony Towns is eligible for a contract extension this offseason. It’s been assumed, […]
Karl-Anthony Towns extension talks stall as Knicks face $276 million question
Karl-Anthony Towns and the New York Knicks are approaching training camp without a contract extension, and one of the biggest financial questions surrounding their championship core remains widely unresolved. ESPN’s Shams Charania and Vincent Goodwill first reported Wednesday that extension talks have stagnated following extensive offseason discussions. An agreement is considered unlikely before training camp, […]
Tyler Nickel’s Knicks future takes shape ahead of training camp
The New York Knicks have yet to sign rookie Tyler Nickel, but the expectation around the league is that the two sides will ultimately reach an agreement. Nickel joined the Knicks organization after New York used the No. 47 overall pick on the former Vanderbilt standout, but there were questions about whether or not the […]
Thirty-Third and Thriving
Let us rewind for a moment. It is June 18, 2026. The New York Knicks are finally NBA Champions, parading through the Canyon of Heroes amongst an expansive sea of orange-and-blue faithful. Jalen Brunson takes the microphone, holding the Larry O’Brien Trophy over his head, ready to address a fanbase that has waited for this […]
The unique brilliance of Jalen Brunson
In the immediate aftermath of winning a championship, there’s utter jubilation. Once that initial high wears off after the ceremony and you start truly grasping what you just witnessed, the human mind naturally goes in a completely different direction. You begin to think of those who were proven wrong. Athletes always say after they win […]
Mike Brown has a new set of eyes on the iPad
You and a buddy are watching the Knicks game at home when the refs make an egregiously erroneous call. The two of you hurl obscenities and whatever’s handy at the TV. Meanwhile, on the sideline, coach Mike Brown flaps his arms as if trying to fly, but he’s unsure of whether to call a challenge. […]
Wiseman may have an edge in the Knicks’ five-man roster battle
Today, Marc Stein reported that New York expects to carry 14 standard contracts rather than 15. That means the five veterans brought to camp (Bruce Brown, John Konchar, Ochai Agbaji, Drew Eubanks, and James Wiseman) are effectively duking it out for one job unless the Knicks clear some cash. From the latest Stein Line: “It’s […]
Sunday Posted & Toasted Notes: Back to Mexico
Been moving back to Mexico since I departed from Spain on Wednesday morning. Yeah, that’s more than half a week, but that’s also what happens when you arrive and your place isn’t ready to live in, you have to split time between there and a shared AirBnB place, you have to spend a night in […]
All the dumb moments that make this title so much sweeter: Part I (1974-89)
We’re in the home stretch, folks. September brings a bunch of things. School for many young people (it was personally August for me up in State College), the start of all forms of football, the stretch run of the MLB season, and the end of a hot summer. For us here at P&T, all it […]
Knicks halt ticket sales after admitting prices were mistake
On Wednesday, you were all ready to buy one of those hot-off-the-presses Knicks tickets. You hopped onto Ticketmaster, clicked your usual section, and nearly fainted from the price. You clicked a cheaper section. Same unpleasant surprise. Finally, you selected the very worst seat in the house and it hit you: the only way you are […]
Knicks add five vets, turn training camp into a real competition
The Knicks’ training camp suddenly became vastly more interesting this week when the team signed five veterans to Exhibit 9 deals: Bruce Brown, John Konchar, Ochai Agbaji, Drew Eubanks, and James Wiseman. As Ian Begley (SNY) observed, “The veteran camp battles at this point are for a backup center spot (Eubanks vs. Wiseman) and a […]
Wednesday Posted & Toasted Notes: Emmy Brunson, heated Kolek, no NBA expansion!?
You know things are heating up when start getting enough quotes to put together a Bulletin, only I’m keeping those for later this off/preseason. For now, here’s the latest round of links and notes for you to enjoy as we approach media day about the end of September. Get excited! “I just gotta play my […]
Knicks sign John Konchar and Drew Eubanks to training camp deals
In a league where everyone seems to have lost their minds, the Knicks have had a quiet offseason. I mean, after you win a championship, why be overtly active when you have everything you need to go back-to-back? We haven’t heard of a real roster move since the attempt to sign Mavericks center Moussa Cisse […]
Taj Gibson announces retirement, joins Bulls coaching staff
The second-oldest active player in basketball is no more, as OAKAAK Taj Gibson announced his retirement on Monday afternoon following his release by the New Orleans Pelicans last week. He will join the Chicago Bulls’ coaching staff under Tiago Splitter for 2026-27. Gibson, a Brooklyn native, was selected No. 26 overall by the Bulls in […]
Knicks sign Milicic to Exhibit 10 contract. No, not that Milicic
As we near training camp and the preseason, the New York Knicks are starting to fill out their roster, with more than several slots and opportunities still available behind the defending NBA champions’ established rotation. On Saturday, a familiar name entered the Knicks realm when, out of the blue, we read the name “Milicic” linked […]
Knicks face tough Miles McBride decision after latest contract-talks update
Miles “Deuce” McBride enters the 2026-27 season as the longest-tenured New York Knicks player following Mitchell Robinson’s exit and he’s surely turned into an important contributor for the reigning champs after averaging a career-high 12.0 points while shooting 41.3% from three last season. According to SNY’s Ian Begley, the Knicks and McBride’s representatives have remained […]
Record Watch: Five Knicks benchmarks in jeopardy this season
Defending a championship changes the vibe during regular-season play. When the goal is to repeat a championship in June, Tuesday night games in February can feel like a formality. Nobody wants to overexert a key player in a meaningless game on the off chance that he’ll blow a hammy. However, Mike Brown’s offense, built for […]
Knicks’ interest in veteran free-agent center emerges ahead of training camp
The New York Knicks have Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond positioned atop their center depth chart, but the defending champions remain without a traditional third center as training camp approaches and this saga doesn’t feel any closer to an end. In yet another update on the situation, according to SNY’s Ian Begley, veteran free agent […]
Thursday Posted & Toasted Notes: Underdog Knicks, turning point, forgotten Rose
Today’s post doesn’t merit an introduction. Just scroll down to the bottom, and you’ll find all you need. “I don’t think we have a big target. Because I don’t think anyone is picking us to win again. We’re using it as fuel. We’re still the hunters. We’re not satisfied with one. So we’re the hunters, […]
NBA champion Dillon Jones signs camp deal with Philadelphia
The Knicks still have no idea what they’re doing with their open two-way spots, but at least for now, one of them will not be Dillon Jones, who signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the rival Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. Jones has had quite the NBA career so far. He was briefly a Knick on […]
