Should the Knicks keep their core 7, or is a major change necessary before the February 5th NBA trade deadline? I believe only three of the core seven are truly safe, 1. Jalen Brunson 2. Josh Hart 3. OG Anunoby While - Karl-Anthony Towns - Mikal Bridges - Mitchell...

I would like NOTHING MORE for people to spin the block on this take in June: However, I do not feel confident moving past the February 5th Trade deadline with both Mikal Bridges and Karl Anthony Towns on the Knicks…. Even without a Giannis deal I would take a look around the league to see if I could pivot off this build… 1. KAT for for JJJ, Mikal for KP and draft capital 2. Mikal deuce and Yabu for Murphy, Looney, etc… 3. Mikal for Kuminga and some draft capital 4. Mikal for Naji Marshall and Daniel Gafford, trade KAT for a wing. 5. Keep in mind the giannis talks are still active Even if none of these trades interest you, do you feel confident in keeping both KAT and Mikal past the deadline? Let me know your thoughts in the comments sections!

Nick Wright says the Knicks have just completed the single most dominant month of basketball in the history of the league: “The Knicks have the record for most lopsided three game stretch in playoffs history, is the 2026 Knicks. The record for the most lopsided four game stretch in playoffs history, is the 2026 Knicks. The record for the most lopsided 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 and now 14 game stretch in playoffs history all belong to the Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, Josh Hart, Mike Brown New York Knicks. Pardon the language but how un-fu*king-believable is that?” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

The Knicks could keep their core together for the next 3-5 years IF Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart are willing to take a pay cut, per Brian Windhorst KAT is eligible for a 4-year, $272M extension. "If Karl Towns is willing to take a little bit of a haircut, you know, $7-10 million over the course of multiple seasons and Josh Hart is also extension eligible this summer, if both of them are willing to take a little bit of a haircut, you could see this core staying together for three, four, five years."

CP The Fanchise (CP "The Fanchise") says the Knicks can be a dynasty in the NBA despite the 2nd apron restrictions. "They have two things going for them. 1, Leon Rose is the best executive in the league. He will figure ways to fill out the bench. 2. The Knicks core is still their prime. Brunson, Towns, Anunoby, Bridges & Hart!. On top of that, there are no egos with this group. They have a shot!"

Kendrick Perkins predicts the New York Knicks will BEAT Wemby and the Spurs in 7 GAMES in the NBA Finals: "Look, it's going to be a brawl for it all. And I know a lot of people was saying the winner of OKC and the Spurs was going to win the championship, but they got the Knicks messed up. The way the Knicks have been playing, and they have one thing that no one else had — nobody else have. The Knicks have Karl-Anthony Towns, an offensive threat that could pull Wemby away from the basket, which is going to open up so many other areas offensively for the New York Knicks. And so when I look at how the Knicks are jelling in this postseason, playing the gender-free basketball, doing all the little things, losing themselves in the team, the Spurs got their work put out for them. I'm not saying that it's not going to go the distance, but right now I'm leaning more towards the Knicks winning this series in seven, to be honest with you." (Via Get Up)

Paul Pierce says Karl-Anthony Towns needs to be the Knicks best player if they want to win: “And I said this and this is not a knock on Jalen Brunson, he can’t be your best player on a championship team. If we’re saying the Knicks, like he can be a great player and close and be that role, but like for us, KG was our best player. I was the closer and I understood that like throughout the course of the game we got to go to KG, you know, that’s how I feel like this should look.” (Via No Fouls Given)

Stephen A. Smith says if the Knicks want to be a champion they should relish Stephon Castle comments, and put him in his place: “That should be your mentality. If you’re Jalen Brunson, if you’re Karl-Anthony Towns and the rest of the group you should be like, “Alright we still got you at the Garden we going to put you down in a 3-1 hole tonight.” You shouldn’t have open your damn mouth, you got to take this kind of stuff personal at this point.”

Stephen A. Smith ranks the New York Knicks the best option for LeBron James next season: “Now, I understand that it’s emotional. I know that. But what I’m thinking about when it comes to the New York Knicks is two things. If you don’t win the title this year, again, you don’t have to give up anybody for LeBron James to join the squad. He can come there as a free agent. By the way, the money ain’t going to matter to him because that’s James Dolan he’d be playing for. That man going to make him an additional billion dollars. LeBron is not Kyrie Irving and KD. He ain’t passing up being associated with the Knick brand to be in Brooklyn, New York. He gonna be with the Knicks. That’s the brand that will easily enable LeBron to pocket an additional half a billion dollars. And the New York Knicks would be the favorites to come out the East their damn selves. And then you got LeBron with Brunson with OG with Karl-Anthony Towns. You got them in a position to be four games away from the chip.” (Via Stephen A Smith)

The Storyline of a Knicks vs Cavs Eastern Conference Finals would be pretty insane When you consider both teams were built in the aftermath of the Donovan Mitchell Sweepstakes in the summer of 2022. The Cavs acquired Donovan Mitchell from the Utah Jazz after talks broke down with Leon Rose. Leon, who already signed Jalen Brunson, pivoted to extending RJ Barrett and delayed his search for a superstar for another time. That SAME YEAR, the Knicks beat Donovan Mitchell and the Cavs in the playoffs. The Knicks officially become Jalen Brunson’s team and start building the roster around him. Trading RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley for OG Anunoby. In the following offseason, trading 5 firsts for Mikal Bridges and trading Julius Randle and Donte Divencenzo for Karl Anthony Towns to complete the build around Jalen Brunson. All of this was done in the aftermath of Leon Rose “failing” to acquire Donovan Mitchell in 2022. Now, 4 years later, Leon and the roster he built can prove he made the right decision by building around Jalen Brunson instead and get to the NBA Finals. On the other side, you have Donovan Mitchell, who would be playing in his first conference finals. Donovan Mitchell, who is also from New York, and would love nothing more than to beat the Knicks to get to the NBA Finals. This is not even mentioning the fact that James Harden would have an opportunity to get to the NBA Finals for the first time as an established Star in this league and get a chance at an elusive Ring that clouds his legacy. Whoever comes out of the EAST would feature a roster built around a small guard, which has been theorized as unwise to do, if you want to win at the highest level. I would love the matchup. I think it would be absolute cinema.

Mike Brown shouts out defensive player of the game Josh Hart and Karl-Anthony Towns for their efforts tonight. On Hart: "Giannis is a tough cover for anybody, especially when you're giving up 6-7 inches or whatever Josh is giving up. He fought all night. On Towns: "I thought the two biggest plays of the game were KAT's offensive rebound late in the game. It was going to be a one-possession game if they got that, but he gets the offensive rebound, I think it puts us up by four. But more importantly than that, he stole the jump ball."

🔥CINEMA. The New York Knicks winning tonight was nothing short of an epic FATHER & SON story decades in the making for Jalen Brunson getting redemption for our NYK against The Spurs. The Knicks defeated them on their home court to end the series 4-1 The Spurs defeated us 4-1 in that series 27 years ago at with Rick Brunson as a Knick at MSG. Commentators would relentlessly tell everyone that Jalen was “TOO SMALL” to win against the top tiers. Yet here he stands as MVP with the rest of one of the greatest relentless Knick teams ever assembled against their star player being the opposite of TOO SMALL… they now CHAMPIONS. Jalen shows you how important humility… work ethic & family who believe in you are for an individual. Brunson is everything you want to see in an athlete as an example for youth and the reason he is so successful is not just talent but COMPOSURE. He is one of the most stress resilient emotionally controlled athletes I have ever seen as a life long New York sports fan. He not only got his fathers 1999 team redemption but ALL of us New York Knicks fans. And he and that team earned EVERY win in the face of adversity. We just watched a historic team we will remember for generations. Thank you Jalen Brunson & NEW YORK KNICKS

In my opinion, Tarris Reed Jr. (UConn) would be the most seamless fit for the Knicks in the 2026 NBA Draft. The Knicks have the 24th & 31st pick and have more than enough access to target Reed Jr on the board. There’s even potential for them to move back from 24, acquire more draft capital and still get Reed Jr. Here’s why I love the fit. From a position of need standpoint, he’s a legitimate plug and play NBA Center who can log 10-15 minutes right away. There’s a possibility that the Knicks lose both Mitchell Robinson and Ariel Hukporti to free agency. Reed Jr. comes from a winning program in UConn played for winning obsessed coach in Dan Hurley played in the Big East, which aligns with the Knicks core mentality. In Matchups vs Lottery prospects in the tournament, there were legitimate times where he was the most productive player on the floor. Reed Jr. is a throwback big, bodies dudes in the paint, good touch around the rim. Nice bag that can only improve. UConn is the farthest thing from a iso offense, but Reed jr, bailed them out time and time again with post touches, a look the Knicks don’t really feature and can open up more diversity in their offense. From a scheme standpoint, the Knicks could actually play some high low concepts with Towns and Reed Jr. In addition, Reed Jr, projects to be a really good rebounder and will end possessions on defense and extend possessions on offense. The main concern for me is his versatility on defense, as it relates to being switchable on the perimeter. Day 1? Won’t be anywhere near what Mitch’s ability on film. Mitch is a guy that blocked Kevin Durant on the perimeter, closed out to the whole Boston Celtics team on one possession in game 6, and got a hand up on Wemby at the end of Game 2 in the NBA Finals. Simply put, if the Knicks lose Mitchell Robinson, they cannot replace him. However, I think Reed jr. will adapt to the needs of the NBA game in his own way, which will make him at least serviceable when playing out of drop coverage. There’s also the reality that Reed jr. isn’t a modern day stretch big that’s going to space the floor. While It’s not an accomplishment, I do think he has some more potential than Robinson/Hukporti to step out in space and knock one down eventually. All in all, these are the reasons Tarris Reed Jr. is a slam dunk pick for the Knicks in the 2026 nba draft - Position of need - Rotation player on a rookie deal - Winning Player - High Motor - Plug and Play From Day 1

I think the most important variable to the Wolves' offseason puzzle is what Julius Randle or what Rudy Gobert could be traded for. That information feels like a pre-requisite to any meaningful deal. Because any big trade, including the Giannis one we go through below, all but requires that one of Randle or Gobert are involved in the trade, or moved in a subsequent trade. And I think a big complicating factor in the Wolves pursuit of Giannis specifically is that Giannis is likely the first domino of the offseason -- with everything else coming after that. Meaning: The trade market for Randle and Gobert should become a lot clearer *after* the Giannis decision is made. Is it possible to have that all mapped out? It's not impossible. The word I've been using going back to the trade deadline is complicated -- very complicated. I would guess the ultimate Giannis trade, if the Wolves were involved, would feel like two or three big deals wrapped up into one 4- or 5-team trade.

Magic Johnson on how special this Knicks team is: Magic: “I don’t wanna hear no talk about Giannis, or no other player coming to this team. This is a great team. I’ve watched a lot of basketball. The way these guys love each other. Play for each other. Pull for one another. You’re not gonna see this anywhere else. The, grit, the toughness that’s how they beat you. Together.” Stephen A: “You’re telling me, this team, as presently constructed, you wouldn’t change—” Magic: “Nope.” Stephen A: “Even if they don’t win the Finals, no changes?” Magic: “You keep em together and make small changes. This team knows how to play so well with each other. And off of Brunson. Everybody is comfortable in their role. KAT could start for another team tomorrow. OG can go to another team and be a star. But he’s good to play his role. Bridges too. And Hart, no 2 guard rebounds like Josh Hart. So you’ve got the pieces, and they’re all happy.” Stephen A: “But—” Magic: “Now, if you trade for Giannis, how many dudes you gotta give up just to get him? It’s a different team now. The whole team changes.” Stephen A: “That’s true.” Magic: “This team. I love this team. I love the Knicks. They play basketball right. Don’t change.”

The Brunson camp reportedly "laughed" at the Mavericks when Dallas tried to offer him a 4-year, $55M extension near the 2022 trade deadline, per Marc Stein "The Brunson camp basically laughed at them and said, 'Uh, we'll take our chances in free agency now, you guys had your chance.' ... The Mavs still had the option at that point of picking up the phone and saying, 'Jalen, we completely screwed this up, we are deeply sorry, we've disrespected you, we want to make this right, we're going to offer you 150 over five.' They even could have gone to 175 over five... They had the wherewithal to give Jalen Brunson a blow-away offer and they didn't do it." ​"If they re-signed him, they either could have kept him with Luka or their phone would have been ringing off the hook with trade offers and they would have had so much better optionality... losing Jalen Brunson for nothing when you combine that with how the Luka trade turned out, like I said, where I live there is a lot of pain when the Knicks are on television."

The Brunson camp reportedly "laughed" at the Mavericks when Dallas tried to offer him a 4-year, $55M extension near the 2022 trade deadline, per Marc Stein "The Brunson camp basically laughed at them and said, 'Uh, we'll take our chances in free agency now, you guys had your chance.' ...

Jeremy Lin reveals he tried to reject the Rockets' $29,000,000 offer and would have taken significantly less to stay with the Knicks “I was crushed and my agent is telling me, ‘Be prepared that they won't match.’ And I'm like, ‘There's no way. There's no way. I got to go back to New York’” “They could have offered me three years, $9 million, but there wasn't even that offer on the table. And when the Rockets offer came in, the first question I asked my agent is, ‘Are the Knicks going to match this?’” “I was like, ‘Can you go back to the Rockets and tell them we won't accept this offer? We only want a lower offer.’ I tried to take less. I was trying to sabotage the Rockets offer.” “I remember it vividly. I call my agent back and I'm like, ‘Okay, the offer came through. No, we have to get a less lucrative offer because I got to go back to New York’” “Finally I'm like, ‘Can we just not accept their offer?’ And he's like, ‘No, we can't not accept their offer because the Knicks refuse to give us any offer. You have zero offers on the table. You have one offer and you have to accept it and leave it to the Knicks to match or not’” “It was kind of difficult to see that people thought I willingly left the Knicks or did it for the money or whatever. I would have played for significantly less if that meant staying with the Knicks because my heart was always here”

Knicks fans screaming about the league not retroactively upgrading Victor Wembanyama’s foul should actually be counting their blessings tonight. Why? Because while they were focused on Wemby, I'm told the NBA league office was reviewing this entire bench clearing sequence and specifically the actions of Jose Alvarado who previously served a major three-game suspension for having been involved in a nearly identical bench-clearing incident in 2024 against the Miami Heat. When the scuffle kicks off under the basket, several Knicks players leave the bench area in violation of the rules and Alvarado gets right in the middle of the scrum. He is seen pushing, heavily engaged with both Luke Kornet and De'Aaron Fox, waving his finger and escalating the tension getting face to face with Fox. Under the NBA’s strict bench-clearing rules, he is undeniably not acting as a "peacekeeper." The Knicks players left the bench before San Antonio called timeout. If the league had decided to apply the letter of the black and white law regarding bench conduct and physical escalation, as they have multiple times this season, New York could easily be down a crucial backcourt piece or 4 for Game 4. Take the Wembanyama non-upgrade as a wash and be thankful, because the Knicks dodged a massive suspension bullet here. 🧵 #GoSpursGo #PorVida #NBAFinals
