Midtown and Rebound: A New York Knicks podcast

On Drew & Shwin's last episode on the Posting & Toasting Show, the guys are joined by Jeremy Cohen to dive into whether or not the Knicks should consider taking on any bad contracts for additional picks or other assets. Well, that was the original topic of the show — they do talk about this, for the record — and the reminder of the show is simply a hodgepodge of tangents and takes that it got too difficult to track.

It may be tropical storming in the New York area but that doesn't prevent us from slingin' that 'tent, baby! On this Eisner Award winning midweek 'sode, Shwin is joined by Prez to talk about some oh so very important topics like Devin Booker going bonkers in the bubble, Zach LaVine making sense for the Knicks in a very specific context, and why signing Fred VanVleet makes so much sense. If you're wondering where Drew is, well, when the three of them were recording the first time, the power went out and the guys lost the recording. On the second attempt, he couldn't make it.

Once they turned over every stone possible on the Knicks coaching search, the four gentlemen then turn to talk about the bleak future of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Was this the greatest episode ever recording in the history of the show? Probably not, no. But it is certainly worth your time, mental investment, and praise. Learn more about your ad choices.

Our favorite Timberwolves writer and fan Jack Boram joins Drew and Shwin again to discuss the player write-up series he has been doing over at Canis Hoopus. It basically gave Drew and Shwin and excuse to just not talk about the Knicks and talk about players and teams like Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns, Joe Harris and his fit with the Timberwolves versus the Knicks, and Jerami Grant being a fake-good offensive player that doesn't make sense for rebuilding teams. After speaking at length about these players, Shwin not only comes up with the Shoe Size Theory that was supported by live research, but also has a classic Shwin rant about the journalistic integrity of Bleacher Report (that's the polite way of phrasing it). This episode is brought to you by the freedom fighters still in the streets and risking their lives being kidnapped by secret police. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On another crossover episode with Knicks Film School, Drew and Shwin are joined only by Jeremy Cohen. Why Jonathan Macri refused to join the guys is something that Drew and Shwin are just going to have to get over. The three amigos primarily discuss and speculate about the impact COVID is going to have on the non-major markets as teams will need to navigate a smoothed-out salary cap, very little, if any, revenue sharing from the big-market teams, and so forth. Then they discuss whether or not Tom Thibodeau would actually ruin a chance at a job that is apparently to lose by holding out to wait for another potential opening. You can catch the rest of this conversation and more on the Knicks Film School podcast coming out whenever they release their 'sodes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
