You now have plans on October 27th- Knicks Schedule Hits The Public Eye
Posted on 10 Aug 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
First, a few front office notes: The Isiah Thomas “hiring” got everyone very upset this weekend. Everyone, except Mike D’Antoni. Big Mike isn’t bothered by Zeke’s unfortunate re – upping. He also said the Donnie Walsh “isn’t going anywhere.” This, obviously, comes in response to the reports that Walsh considered leaving the organization because of the hiring. Although it l...

Guess Who’s Baaaack?
Posted on 6 Aug 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
From Realgm: Isiah Thomas has been hired as a consultant by the Knicks, giving the team's former president and head coach an official role with the organization. Thomas' position will be in a part-time capacity and he will remain head coach at Florida International. On the surface, this seams like some pretty hefty bridge – jumping stuff. There is absolutely no way bring Thomas back is a go...

Posted on 6 Aug 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
The Knicks may have lost out on Shannon Brown (two year re – up with LA imminent), but they didn’t miss out on Rodger Mason. Mason is set to agree on a one year deal with the club. The contract, according to realgm.com, is worth 1.4 million. Mason has averaged 7 points per game and little else during his six year career. He averaged 6.2 points in under 20 minutes for the Spurs last year. ...

From the Eddy Curry Needs Help file: A warrant has been issued again for the arrest of Eddy Curry, this time for failure to pay in a civil case involving him having sex with a minor in 2001. Can this guy do anything right? Curry is lucky he still has a job anywhere, why wouldn’t he be doing everything he can to turn his career around. But that is precisely why Eddy Curry is Eddy Curry. He’s...

Report: Knicks in Fernandez Mix
Posted on 28 Jul 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
From Realgm.com: The Bulls, Celtics and Knicks have engaged in trade talks with the Blazers regarding swingman Rudy Fernandez, according to a report. The Knicks have coveted Fernandez for a long time. The shooting guard played in only 62 games last season, averaging a little over 8 points and 2 assists per game.

Knicks Need to Take Leap and Get Paul
Posted on 25 Jul 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
History, as a general term, has been defined by adaptation. Cultures and societies that survive and persevere find ways to change and adjust to the times in which they exist. Those who do it well thrive. Those who don’t fall into oblivion or, worse yet, die out. In many ways, sports acts in the same way. Those who adapt to changing times tend to w...

Walker And Jordan Shine as Knicks Even Vegas Record
Posted on 16 Jul 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Two Knicks big men broke out on Friday in the fourth of five Summer League games in Las Vegas. The game, a 92 – 80 victory over the Detroit Pistons, was a welcome return to the kind of basketball the Knicks were playing prior to Wednesday’s defensive debacle against Toronto. The players, Bill Walker and Jerome Jordan, revived a week that was individually inconsistent, at best. ...

Knicks Fall To 1-2 In Vegas
Posted on 15 Jul 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Perhaps “giving up” is too strong a word for this time of year. Perhaps. But it certainly seemed like the Knicks had given up in the second half of a 102 – 89 drubbing at the hands of the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. Maybe it was the fatigue of a third game in four days. Maybe it was the heat. Whatever it was, it stunk. Sure, summer league is not about wins or loss...

Knicks Foul Up Summer League Opener against Denver
Posted on 11 Jul 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
It takes about 5 minutes to remember that this is Summer League. Throughout the Knicks 100 – 90 Vegas – week opening loss to Denver, countless moments prompted a chuckle of amazement at how unpolished the whole thing was. Summer League can be frustrating to watch, for sure. But through all the mishandles, fouls, and shots bricked so hard that the rebound was caught at the top of the key, br...
