  NBA Trade Rumors: How Would the New York Knicks Fare with Chris Paul? Amare Stoudemire, Best Slideshows - Team, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Danilo Gallinari, Mike D'antoni, NBA, NBA Atlantic, NBA Trade Rumors, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off

  Chris Paul has indicated all summer that he wants out of New Orleans. He added more fuel to the fire Thursday by listing the teams for which he most wants to play. His list featured some of the top teams in the league, but the up-and-coming Knicks appear to be his first choice. Portland, Orlando, and Dallas are supposedly on Paul's list and each would be superb fits for the New Orleans point guard. All are looking for that one piece that could get them over the hump towards a championship. But it seems that Paul has always leaned towards New York. He ...

  The 10 People Most Responsible For the Sad State of the New York Knicks Best Slideshows - Team, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off

  I remember so many wonderful things about the New York Knicks from my childhood. I remember my father and brother gushing over Bernard King. I remember Trent Tucker hitting that game-winning three with one-tenth of a second on the clock. I remember thinking Sidney Green was good and deserving of more minutes. I remember Pat Cummings' ugly face. I remember Kiki Vandeweghe shooting jumpers with either hand. I remember wearing one of those shirts that featured a cartoon drawing of a player, with his head big and body little. I had Mark Jackson. The older guys in the park would call me "Action Jackson." I ...

  All-Time NBA Starting Fives: New York Knicks Best Slideshows - Team, History, NBA, NBA History, New York Knicks | Comments Off

  Funny thing about the Knicks. If it’s possible for a franchise to be simultaneously overrated and underrated, the New York Knicks are that franchise. This is a franchise draped in the celebration of long-past achievement and self-importance–two championships, the most recent coming 38 years ago, two utterly unwatchable trips to the Finals since, local media attention far outpacing anything warranted by on-court achievement and, despite what Tony Kornheiser and Mike Lupica try to tell you, no more than three or four truly GREAT players in franchise history. However, living in Manhattan for the last 5+ years, I’ve had many opportunities to ...

  New York Knicks Fans: Prepare to Lose Your Hair Over Anthony Randolph Anthony Randolph, Best Slideshows - Team, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off

  Almost a week ago, after the Man Who Would Be King announced he was heading to Miami to party…sorry, play with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, the New York Knicks completed a sign-and-trade deal with my beloved Golden State Warriors. The deal netted us David Lee in exchange for Anthony Randolph, Ronny Turiaf, and Kelenna Azubuike. I’ve already written about the deal from the Warriors' point of view (basically, I love it) but I felt it was my civic duty as a basketball fan, and someone who’s watched all three of these guys grow, to give Knicks fans a heads-up on ...

  NBA Free Agency: New York Knicks Winners in David Lee-To-Warriors Deal Anthony Randolph, Best Slideshows - Team, David Lee, Free Agency, Kelenna Azubuike, Mike D'antoni, NBA, NBA Trade Rumors, New York Knicks, Opinion, Ronny Turiaf | Comments Off

  LeBron James stiffed the Knicks with his decision to sign with the Miami Heat. The Knicks, however, wasted no time before listening to their new leader, Amar'e Stoudemire, who at Thursday’s press conference said, “it’s onto the next one.” Of course, Stoudemire was referring to his transition from the Suns to the Knicks, but the same logic still applies. The Knicks acted quickly to make a move following LeBron’s disappointing announcement, completing a sign and trade deal with the Warriors on David Lee. Headed to the Big Apple are Anthony Randolph, Kelenna Azubuike, and Ronny Turiaf. While this is not the star-studded move fans were ...

  LeBron James Can Achieve Immortality By Returning NY Knicks To Glory Best Slideshows - Team, NBA, New York Knicks, Rankings/List | Comments Off

  The one name that is talked about more than anyone else in this NBA Free Agency period is LeBron James. It’s not a surprise because he is considered the most talented player in the league by many. But it’s also because there are so many interesting plot lines that surround LeBron’s decision on where to play. Will he form a deadly trio in Miami that could rule the NBA? Will he try to follow in Jordan’s footsteps in Chicago? Will he stay home and prove he is a loyal person who cares about his roots? Those are all very interesting, but what about the New York ...

  10 Reasons the Knicks Are Still Screwed If LeBron James Doesn’t Sign Best Slideshows - Team, NBA, New York Knicks, Rankings/List | Comments Off

  With the news that Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade will now team up in Miami, the eyes of the world now shift to LeBron James. LeBron is the remaining mega free agent who has yet to publicly make his decision. But it will not be long. The thinking is that Wade and Bosh's commitment to LeBron has narrowed the King's choices to Cleveland and Miami, leaving Chicago, New Jersey and even New York out in the cold. While New York is still a possibility, the chances appear decreasing with every passing hour. That is why the Knicks are still ...

  NBA Free Agency: 10 Perfect Teammates for Amar’e Stoudemire in New York Amare Stoudemire, Best Slideshows - Team, NBA, New York Knicks, Rankings/List | Comments Off

  Even though Amar'e Stoudemire has agreed to a deal with New York, the Knicks are still in desperate need of more talent. Right now, the only players the Knicks have the rights to are Bill Walker, Eddy Curry, Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, Toney Douglas, and rookies Andy Rautins and Landry Fields. While there is some talent there, this roster isn't one of the top in the East, so Amar'e needs to get on the recruiting trail. The Knicks still have a ton of cap space and need to get some more big name players. Here are some guys they should target.Begin Slideshow

  Point Well Taken: Five Point Guards the Knicks Should Target Best Slideshows - Team, NBA, New York Knicks, Rankings/List, Tony Parker | Comments Off

  With the signing of Amar'e Stoudemire, the first piece of the New York Knicks offseason puzzle has fallen into place. Now everyone is waiting to see what happens next. Whether LeBron James joins the Knicks or not, it seems like they should really invest in a quality point guard who can pass. A handful of names have been swirling through the Knicks interest. These players could either be acquired via free agency or trade. Based on their ability and recent rumors, here is a brief outline of five point guards that would fit the Knicks system as distributors or scorers.Begin Slideshow

  NBA Trade Rumors: Amar’e Stoudemire and New York Knicks Agree on Max Deal Amare Stoudemire, Best Slideshows - Team, David Lee, LeBron James, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion, Phoenix Suns | Comments Off

  ESPN is reporting that Amar'e Stoudemire has agreed to a five-year, $100 million contract with the New York Knicks. The 27-year-old power forward was one of the most prized free agents this summer, after averaging 23.1 points per game and 8.9 rebounds for Phoenix. At 6'10" and almost 250 pounds, Stoudemire will add a massive inside presence to New York's run-and-gun uptempo offense. He has been a constant threat on both ends of the court for a number of years now, and he will be a huge upgrade crashing the offense glass and blocking shots on D. Last season, David Lee averaged 20 ...

  New York Knicks’ Free Agency Tour Makes Its Way To Lebron James Best Slideshows - Team, Breaking News, chris bosh, Dwayne Wade, Free Agency, Joe Johnson, LeBron James, Mike Miller, NBA, New York Knicks | Comments Off

  As the clock struck 12:01am early Wednesday, the New York Knicks were already off and running to conquer its summer free agency quest. On the very same day that free agents are finally able to negotiate, the Knicks' recruitment team that consists of Donnie Walsh, Mike D’Antoni, Allan Houston, and James Dolan have already made stops to talk with certain free agents. Although Dolan did not reportedly travel to Los Angeles early Wednesday, the rest of the group met with Joe Johnson. Johnson has maximum contracts offers from both the Knicks and Hawks. Although Johnson has beamed when asked about reuniting with Mike ...

  NBA Free Agents 2010: Why New York Knicks Shouldn’t Shoot For The Stars Best Slideshows - Team, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off

  Former Denver Broncos' tight end Shannon Sharpe had a reputation for letting his mouth run like a faucet. Never was this more apparent then in the days prior to Super Bowl XXXIII when he engaged in a rivalry with Atlanta Falcons' Pro-Bowl corner back Ray Buchanan. Buchanan ripped Sharpe to shreds with his trash talk, saying he looked like Mr. Ed. When Sharpe was informed of this banter he gave us a response that has since lived in infamy, "I'm not gonna get into a peeing contest with a skunk, you'll lose every time." As silly as it sounds, Knicks' President Donnie Walsh ...

  New York Knicks to Offer Joe Johnson Max Contract, ESPN’s Chris Broussard Claims Best Slideshows - Team, Joe Johnson, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off

  The 2010 NBA free agent class is the biggest in sports history. A big player in this free agent class will be the New York Knicks, who have spent more than two years clearing  cap space under President of Basketball Operations Donnie Walsh. For the Knicks it’s either 2010 free agency or bust. The Knicks have shed so much salary that they risked their long-term future in doing so. The Knicks needed to trade bad contracts like Jared Jeffries and were successful in doing so, but they traded valuable draft picks in the process. The Knicks have been preaching to their ...

  NBA Free Agency: Why LeBron James Best Chance To Win is in New York Best Slideshows - Team, LeBron James, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off

  Draft Night 2010 saw a multitude of shifting personnel. Teams such as Miami and Chicago made all their moves with one sole purpose: clearing cap space in preparation of making a bigger impact on free agency. When the clock strikes midnight on July 1, teams will be blowing up the phones of the 2010 Free Agent class. With many teams expected to make a push for the headliner, LeBron James, everyone has a different opinion on where he is best suited. "He should stay in Cleveland for loyalty." "He should go to Chicago to win." "He should go to New York ...

  NBA Trade Rumors: Has Wilson Chandler Become Expendable for the New York Knicks? 2010 NBA Draft, Best Slideshows - Team, Danilo Gallinari, Darren Collison, Eddy Curry, Emeka Okafor, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off

  The Knicks have a tremendous need for a big man yet failed to capitalize by selecting one in the NBA draft. After selecting Andy Rautins of Syracuse with the No. 38 overall pick, the team instead selected the freakishly athletic wingman, Landry Fields, out of Stanford. Potentially adding Fields to the plethora of wingmen the Knicks currently have on the roster poses the question: Who will be the odd man out? The likely answer is Wilson Chandler. As the Knicks look to beef up their roster to attract the summer’s best free agents, Chandler could become key trade bait in order to ...

  NBA Draft Results: Will New York Knicks Draft Help Sign LeBron James? Best Slideshows - Team, David Lee, Eddy Curry, Mike D'antoni, NBA, New York Knicks, Preview/Prediction | Comments Off

  New York head coach Mike D’Antoni came out and said last night the Knicks were more focused on July 1st than June 24th. The Knickerbockers held two picks in last night’s draft, both of which in the second round. The Knicks have been more focused for the last two years on signing LeBron James than actually winning basketball games, and with the free agent season about to begin next week, New York’s limited draft picks—No. 38 and 39—should have gone to help sign the King. So, let’s take a look to see if Syracuse’s Andy Rautins and Stanford’s Landry Fields will help ...

  NBA Draft Report Card: Grading the New York Knicks at the 2010 NBA Draft 2010 NBA Draft, Andy Rautins, Best Slideshows - Team, Landry Fields, Mike D'antoni, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off

  Although the Knicks did not have a first round draft selection in this year’s draft, there was still hope the team could improve its talented young core with its two second round picks. Instead, the WaMu Theater at Madison Garden groaned with disappointment from Knicks fans scattered all around as their team selected Andy Rautins of Syracuse (38th) and Landry Fields of Stanford (39th). Unfortunately for the Knicks, this draft drew two terrifying parallels to dreadful drafts of years past. At 38, the Knicks were hoping to snag Darington Hobson. As the draft progressed, it appeared that Donnie Walsh did not have to ...

  10 Teams That Might Take On Eddy Curry (and His Cap Friendly Contract) Best Slideshows - Team, Eddy Curry, NBA, New York Knicks, Preview/Prediction | Comments Off

  Eddy Curry's career has become a cautionary tale for young basketball players looking to make the leap to the NBA. The former No. 4 overall pick has received much more recognition for his antics off the court than on it throughout his NBA career. As a result of chronic money mismanagement, Curry is facing massive debt and was recently ordered to pay back $1.2 million dollars in loans by a judge. Despite desperately needing money, Curry has shown little motivation to prove that he is worth anything on the court. Curry has only played 10 games over the past two seasons. Once ...

  NBA Trade Rumors: Why the New York Knicks Should Trade for Richard Hamilton Best Slideshows - Team, Eddy Curry, Kevin Garnett, NBA, NBA Draft, New York Knicks, Opinion, Ray Allen, Richard Hamilton | Comments Off

  In the summer of 2007, the Boston Celtics were in trouble. After a measly 24-win season (and not many better seasons prior to that), General Manager Danny Ainge understood improvements had to be made to save his job. He responded by helping the Celtics finish at 66-16, the third best regular season finish in the already storied franchise’s history, becoming NBA champions just a season later. Ainge obviously did not sit back and wait to see how things played out. He made moves. The centerpiece of the Celtics’ improvement was Kevin Garnett, but how in the world did Ainge convince the former ...
