The huge rift between the Rockets and McGrady, I’m told by a source, began last year at the trade deadline. The Rockets had a deal in place to send McGrady to New Jersey for Vince Carter and other pieces, similar to the Nets-Magic deal on draft night. When McGrady’s agent Arn Tellem informed his client [...]

As the discussion surrounding where Tracy McGrady will ultimately land, what’s clear is that the Knicks seem to be the most logical destination. Last year, with the Knicks in a groove, Donnie Walsh made the necessary decision to trade both Zach Randolph and Jamal Crawford, two contracts who exceeded July 1, 2010. The results on [...]

When looking at the Knicks, there are two things that stand out as reasons the team has struggled with consistency. First and foremost, Mike D’Antoni’s offense is predicated on space and open shots. If you create space, you get open shots. You have to make them.
Other than Danilo Gallinari, the Knicks don’t have consistent perimeter [...]

Here’s what I know about Mike D’Antoni’s offense: In 2007, when the Suns were essentially robbed of advancing past the second round of the playoffs, they were at their collective best, offensively, with Shawn Marion at the power forward position.But Marion struggled to guard the opposing team’s four, causing for the Suns to really have [...]

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — With Eddy Curry missing in action from the Knicks’ lineup until he gets himself in shape (again), one guy who could stand to benefit is Darko Milicic.The 7-foot Milicic, obtained in a draft-day trade with Memphis for Quentin Richardson, is practicing with the first unit and could see additional minutes as David [...]

While some Knicks fans wished for the team to make offseason moves, the end result is a summer of relative silence. Whether one thinks that adding Ramon Sessions and dipping into the 2010 piggy bank was a move that Donnie Walsh should have made, it is a rather moot point.
The fact that Walsh didn’t pull [...]

I remember heading to Shea on a summer day in 1983 with my dad and my brother, and watched as Mike Torrez gave up hit after hit, run after run. The poor guy didn’t get out of the 4th inning and left the field to a chorus of boos. Yep, another young, impressionable Met fan [...]

Thanks to the economy, this is easily the strangest NBA offseason I’ve ever witnessed. As far as the Knicks are concerned, the obvious plan is to improve for this season without compromising the ultimate goal of 2010.It seems that the organization is intent on improving and what’s on top of Mike D’Antoni’s wish list. Judging [...]

Give Mark Bartlestein credit, the guy knows what being an agent is all about. Rumors have swirled that the agent for David Lee has been campaigning to try and get his client top dollar. In essence, that’s his job.
At the same time, what you have to love about Knicks president Donnie Walsh is his patience, [...]

Poor free-agent signings, bad draft picks, awful trades for brutal contracts. Sure, there are plenty reasons the Knicks have missed the playoffs in almost every year this decade. Having to watch the playoffs sans the Knicks really stings, and for a Knicks fan who still need a hoops fix, nothing should bother you more than [...]
