New York Knicks

Dustin Satloff/Getty Images “These two-game series feel like a playoff series, and whether you win or lose, you’re both trying to guess, like, on the adjustments piece. But I do think the team that, usually, drops the first one is always going to end up trying to play harder and pick up the pressure and be more physical, and so we’re expecting some of that.” That was Head Coach Chris DeMarco previewing the New York Liberty’s Wednesday night matchup with the Seattle Storm, their second in thre...

James L. Edwards III of The Athletic is confident that the Knicks‘ front office will offer Karl-Anthony Towns an extension this offseason, but he doesn’t expect New York to put a maximum-salary contract on the table for the big man. A full max deal for Towns would be worth a projected $272.8MM over four seasons, […]

Following their NBA Finals loss to the New York Knicks, the San Antonio Spurs knew they needed to put in some work to get back.

Melo and King are locks. But weighing 70s hardware against 90s chaos is exactly where the real debate starts.

Cons Loss of flexibility This, in my opinion, will ultimately be the biggest factor if New York’s brass doesn’t offer Towns the max extension. Since president Leon Rose took over, he and his staff have routinely put themselves in a position to pivot, whether by being financially smart or stockpiling draft picks to make a move.

After adding Jaylen Brown via trade and LeBron James via free agency, the Sixers have become one of the most discussed teams in the league. They still have a 15th roster spot available and will more than likely move into next season with that spot unfilled, since they are currently just $1.8MM below the first […]
