Taking the Hard Way, Knicks Name Scott Perry GM and Constructing Carmelo Anthony Trades

Tim Hardaway Jr. received $71 million. Really. For playing basketball. Four years. From the New York Knicks. I will admit. This wrinkled my feathers more than a little. Tim was a player that just a couple years back contributed to us missing out on Karl Anthony Towns and someone who didn’t take the game seriously […]

Knicks 2017 Offseason Plans

As the clock hit midnight, NBA free agency is finally upon us. We finally have a winner of the Paul George sweepstakes, Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Your Moment of Zen: The End of the Phil Jackson era

Like many news that break during 2:30 AM, the announcement of the Knicks and Phil Jackson parting ways was a bit shocking. Waking up to learn the news, I thought I would have greater satisfaction with the firing of yet another failed executive in New York. Instead, it felt more like the new norm with […]

Kings Trade Demarcus Cousins. Watch Out Golden State Warriors?

Almost as soon as the Commissioner Adam Silver handed the All Star Game MVP award to Anthony Davis for scoring a record 52 points in his home city of New Orleans, news broke that Davis was soon going to be adding a new, very talented teammate. His name is Demarcus Cousins, you may of heard […]

Melodrama in New York

Stop me if you’ve heard this before. Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks should part ways. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Yet, the Knicks and Carmelo insist they can co-exist even after three years of playoff-less basketball. Since Phil Jackson accepted his Knicks presidency, there […]

Draft Day 2016

With the NFL Draft just hours away, the Rams will have the first pick in their first draft back in Los Angeles.

Thoughts on Analytics and Fixing the Boston Red Sox

Boston Red Sox principal owner John Henry created quite the stir in Spring Training by suggesting that the team that he’s owned for almost 15 years has overemphasized analytics when making major decisions. The 2015 season was a major disappointment for the Red Sox, resulting in giving up more runs than they scored despite playing […]

Searching for the next Knicks head coach

February was not kind to the New York Knicks. The Knicks went from 22-22 to 25-35 in just over a month. Oh and by the way, head coach Derek Fisher was fired. This surprised many but after the Cleveland Cavaliers fired David Blatt, this should surprise nobody. Coaching changes in the NBA boil down to […]

State of the Knicks: In Phil We Still Trust

It’s OK to fall back in love with the New York Knicks again. Won’t take my word for it? Then listen to Jeff Van Gundy. When asked about Kristaps Porzingis, the ex-Knicks head coach said, “I love everything about how he’s handled his situation, love his game, love his mental makeup…. I’m hopeful that he […]

Re-sign Yoenis Cespedes!

I was saving an opinion on Yoenis Cespedes for when he signed with another team. But like that annoying fly that keeps coming at you, I couldn’t resist to take a swipe. The fly in question is the New York Mets and their unwilling desire to talk contract with the greatest outfielder in Mets history. […]

Flip Saunders and the Future of the Minnesota Timberwolves

This is not an obituary, just ask my brother because I planned to write this in July. I even imagined how I would email Flip Saunders and maybe get a response back from the legendary coach. Shock and sadness were only a few of the emotions I felt as I read the news of Flip’s […]

3 Mets Trade Deadline Ideas

I thought I wouldn’t be writing this article after news of the Carlos Gomez trade to the New York Mets but it turns out the Houston Astros doctors liked Carlos Gomez. Reports indicate that the Mets happened to have cold feet (aka pulling a DeAndre Jordan) after first agreeing to send Zack Wheeler and Wilmer Flores to […]

Why Mudiay or Porzingis is the Right Pick for the New York Knicks

One of the reasons you heard a collective groan in the Hilton Midtown hotel during the NBA Draft lottery was not only because the New York Knicks were the only team to lose draft position that night but also due to the fact they lost out on two potential Hall of Fame big men in […]
