NY Knicks

The 2019 - 2020 season for the New York Knicks will tip off Wednesday, October 23rd when they travel to San Antonio to take on the Spurs. Then Friday the 25th the Knicks will get to see what could of been in Brooklyn when they take on Kyrie Irving and the Nets team he chose over them. There will be plenty of story lines this season for hte Knicks including when Kristaps Porzingis and the Dallas Mavericks come to Madison Square Garden on Thursday, November 14th.

I've heard all of the over reactions to the New York Knicks not signing Kevin Durant or any max contract guy for that matter and I have to say I think they did really well. IF Durant never ruptured his Achilles I would feel very different but he did and when his Achilles popped so did the dreams of a quick rebuild for the Knicks. In the past this team would over react and sign the biggest name available and mortgage the future to appease the fans. These moves were measured, smart and made the team better.

Too bad the Mecca of basketball carries very little weight anymore

Former NBA Player and Coach Don Nelson did an interview with Bryant Gumble of HBO's Real Sports last night and the man is interesting to say the least. Nelson now lives in Hawaii on the island of Maui where he grows flowers, coffee and cannabis. You'd think a former NBA coach living in Hawaii growing and smoking pot while hosting legendary poker games would be the craziest part of the interview, you'd be wrong. Nelson shares the story of when he tried to trade Patrick Ewing.

This season the New York Knicks clearly "Tanked" in an effort to land the number one overall pick in the draft. There were moments where all Knicks' fans envisioned Duke's Zion Williamson as well as two max contract free agents in blue and orange next season. Now we're grateful to have Duke's RJ Barrett but very unsure who if any free agents will be joining him.

The NBA Draft is behind us so it's time to grade who won and who lost and what players will go straight to the Hall Of Fame. It was no surprise that Duke's Zion Williamson went number one overall to the New Orleans Pelicans and it's no surprise he's the favorite to win the top rookie honors this coming season.

The NBA Draft is tonight so to prepare us for what the New York Knicks will do tonight we talk to Marc Berman of the New York Post. Berman is sure the Knick will draft Duke's RJ Barrett and mentions a few options for the second round. One of the biggest ideas Berman presented is that the Knicks would trade their 2017 first round pick Point Guard Frank Ntilikina for a late first round pick tonight.

The NBA Finals from this year have SHOOK next year's favorite. Before the injuries that ransacked the Golden State Warriors, teams like the Warriors were still the favorite to win it again next year. Now with the future's of Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson up in the air, Las Vegas odds have shifted.

Forgive me paying far more attention to the NBA off season then the NBA Finals that tip off this Thursday but as a New York Knicks' fan the playoff haven't mattered in YEARS. So in hopes that I can experience the NBA playoffs sooner than later I'm totally focused on getting the top Free Agents and potential trade targets. Here are the Vegas odds for the top NBA stars potentially on the move and where they could be headed.
