“…The most recent leg of his Big Apple-ward journey began in the summer of 2004, when he and I forced a trade to the Rockets. The idea was that playing alongside a consummate big man like Yao Ming would make an unbeatable combination – the Lone Star equivalent [...]
When Larry Johnson came to the Knicks in 1996, he was a shell of his former self. Gone were the days of Grandmama and the roars that followed thunderous dunks.Heck, I’m not even sure he had his infamous gold tooth when he finally appeared on Broadway.
We had a great chat with Jeff Van Gundy last [...]
Read Tommy’s Live tweets from MSG…
Well, it’s the dawn of a new day for this franchise. So many questions remain, but put your scouting hats on and take a good look at Sergio Rodriguez, Tracy McGrady and Eddie House. Obviously, all eyes will be on McGrady, but he’s been a star in this league. He [...]
Via Hahn’s Tweet-
“…The #Knicks‘ trades from Thursday have been officially completed (all physicals went thru). McGrady et al will dress tonight vs OKC…”
With that being said, here’s what I’d like to see.
PG- Rodriguez (Evaluate him from the get go, in the starting role)

“…New #Knicks in the house: Tracy McGrady, Sergio Rodriguez and Bill Walker. No one can practice yet until all phyiscals are completed…”
Not at practice, will be filming deadline reaction with Will Leitch of NY Magazine. Will be posted later.
In the meantime, check out the video which our video editor Pavlos Gorgey dug up. He [...]

Tracy McGrady
Tommy says- I can’t wait to see what he has left. This could be the start of a beautiful relationship. McGrady will have to opportunity to prove his worth in the Big Apple.
Sergio Rodriguez
A playmaking guard who doesn’t shoot well. Is he [...]
Via Chris Sheridan of ESPN:
“…I have confirmed that the teams have renewed discussions, but there is one major thing to keep in mind: Robinson is what’s known as a base-year compensation player, which can be a complicating factor. Robinson makes $4 million, but the Knicks can take back a maximum of only $2.02 million in [...]
With a deal to be done any minute with Caron Butler possibly on the move to Dallas, I wonder how this will impact Houston’s decision to trade Tracy McGrady. Do they do it to help their luxury cap, or just decide to hold on to him if they get nothing of significant value in return. [...]
