What looked to be a roster of low-risk, high-value young veterans to scaffold their young talent turned out to be a bloated developmental mess. How can the Knicks get value for that?

Injuries are never something that NBA teams want to deal with, but they’re an unfortunate part of the game — ask any franchise, they’ll agree.

It’s Dec. 12, and we’re over a quarter of the way through the 2019-20 NBA season. More importantly, we’re three days away from the 15th – the day much of the league because trade-eligible. By now, teams have a good idea of who they are and where they want to be in four months when
Year after year the Knicks release a new album, but they’re just full of the greatest hits. “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr, a French critic and writer, said that in 1848, probably in reference to something French and philosophical. He also probably said it in reference to

In the press release that literally nobody asked for, the New York Knicks denied offering Richard Jefferson a contract “for clarification purposes.” The New York Knicks PR team is having a rough season. So are the Knicks themselves, at 4-13, which is the worst record in the Eastern Conference, but the public relations team hasn’t
*Small sample size That’s always the disclaimer we media folk have to include when we take offer opinions or analysis early on in the season. The reason is justifiable. A lot can change between now and when the season comes down the homestretch that we can’t say that the success or lack thereof surrounding either

If it weren’t for Tyler Herro’s explosion or Ja Morant’s late-game heroics, Knicks guard R.J. Barrett might be the NBA’s best rookie, a week into the 2019-20 season. Pray for R.J. Barrett. While some lauded the Knicks this summer for sticking to short-term contracts, not blocking playing time for their young players, and generally recovering

The New York Knicks enter 2019-20 hoping for development and cohesion. As recently as this time last year, the Knicks expected to enter the season with at least one cornerstone piece in Kristaps Porzingis, a free agent superstar and a lottery pick added to the roster. Instead, the team experienced tremendous turnover, returning only six
In any given year, the NBA is chock-o-block with surprises. Whether it be the out-of-the-blue trade, the surprise breakout or the unlikely contender, there is never a lack of the unexpected. True to form, the 2018-19 regular and postseason had unexpected in spades. There were a number of anomalies last year, both good and bad.
One does not simply spell the name Giannis Antetokounmpo without at least looking it up first.
