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 […]
St. John’s Zuby Ejiofor addresses ‘crazy’ Knicks scenario before NBA Draft
The New York Knicks are entering the NBA Draft as reigning champions for the first time in 53 years, back when the event saw 178 players getting drafted as New York City hosted it. This time, the Knicks are holding picks No. 24, No. 31, and No. 55, but they might not have all of […]
How to watch the 2026 NBA Draft
The NBA Draft will be held tonight and tomorrow at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the new home of Julius Randle. For once, the Knicks are not scouting for a young buck who can elevate their roster–because they won the championship! You may still have a scrap of confetti lodged in the back of your […]
REPORT: Knicks in trade talks as Jose Alvarado delays player-option decision
Whether the championship hangover has anything to do with Jose Alvarado’s taking his time to decide on his future, we don’t know for sure. What we know, according to reports emerging late Monday, is that Jose won’t make a final call on whether or not to execute his player option until Friday, June 26, instead […]

That’s finally over.

[…]

REPORT: Knicks to sign Mo Diawara to multi-year contract

The Knicks enter this week’s NBA Draft with the 24th, 31st, and 55th selections. Provided Leon Rose & Co. decide to use those picks, and depending on how the board falls, Jayden Quaintance could be available when our World Champions are on the clock. Should the Knicks give the big youngster a long look? The […]
