Mike Brown has been hired, along with Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele. Brown continues to round out his coaching staff and the Knicks' draft picks got attention in Summer League, most importantly their French Phenom: Mohamed Diawara. There is still plenty of time left until the 2025-26 regular season begins.Jersey leaks, one vet minimum spot remaining, and a full offseason together with the starting five we saw have a number of dope moments together. Title run coming soon?
Now that they've been bounced out of the Eastern Conference Finals, the New York Knicks are prepping for next season beginning with the firing of Tom Thibodeau.What other changes to come remain in question, but there's certainly a lot swirling already.
Wow, they finally did it.The Knicks have made the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 25 years. To think I was messing around in kindergarten, with no real knowledge of this organization whatsoever at the time, only to join the bandwagon about 13 years later.Now is not the time for celebrating, though. It's game time, and we have to treat this as if we're entering the series down 0-3.Fiverr. is full of opportunities for those seeking to show off their skills and those in search of help with a task they just can’t complete themselves.

First and foremost, I'm not mad at the Knicks for not pursuing Damian Lillard. But in the wake of his being traded, the team has surfaced as a group connected to some other ensuing deals, i.e., getting Jrue Holiday.
But it doesn't stop there. While the 76ers crumble under the pressure of James Harden, Knicks' fans desire to get Joel Embiid has come back to the foreground. Mitchell Robinson has been valued at two first-round picks at least, which has sparked a bit of curiosity, given the timing of the report.
Hear me ponder everything right here!
The New York Knicks got bounced in the second round of the 2023 Playoffs and only have Donte DiVincenzo to show for it this summer (so far). Other members of the blue and orange have seen themselves sent on their way, so the fanbase has begun to wonder about the direction we're headed.
Meanwhile, the NBA is changing, and we delve into those subjects here.
This season was a success.
The New York Knicks advanced to the second round and lost in six games to a Miami Heat team that is clearly built to withstand even the hardest of tests. The Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors were also bounced in the second round, so now Rob, Nick, and Carlos look ahead to what could be next season.
Brunson is him
Jokic is him
LeBron is a hoax
We get to take a deep breath this All-Star Break, as the New York Knicks enter the weekend with their best record (33-27) in 10 years.
Post-Trade Deadline, the Knicks are 3-1, and 3-0 when Josh Hart takes the floor. Jalen Brunson is averaging 32 points per game for the month of February, and Mitchell Robinson's return is on the horizon. The outlier: RJ Barrett. His presence has been a net negative and, rightfully so in my opinion, has been hearing it from the fans.
Can he turn things around?
Additionally, Julius Randle continues to prosper and gets in on some of the fun as a 3PT contest participant and All-Star... and he also does some recruiting?
Plenty more on the docket as well. Tune in now!
The New York Knicks make an exciting comeback, take a three-point lead, and let up a Nic Batum three-pointer to force overtime. The Clippers go on to win.
New York's bench played an instrumental part in this game, but the transgressions of RJ Barrett could end up being the ultimate factor of destruction in this contest. He has to step up big time to redeem himself, and the fans sure hope he does.
Ahead of tonight's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers, the Knicks are 28-26 and slowly descending into dangerous play-in territory.
Nick and Rob catch up after a somewhat quiet summer in Knicks Nation. Aside from the obvious, i.e., RJ's extension, the Brunson acquisition, and Randle's troubles, not much has come out of New York's camp. With preseason upon us, it was time to kick things back into gear.
Topics:
Brunson's value to this team
RJ's expected growth after a summer of hard work
Randle being on the hot seat
A fun bit of prediction awaits you at the end of the episode!
Following a draft night trade that would see us sending out our 11th overall pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder, calamity struck and the fanbase almost turned on the front office (for the millionth time in a row). But not everyone was ready to give up. With cap space cleared, the Knicks' pursuit of Jalen Brunson looked all the more certain, and so it seems we may have a Brunson Burner in our possession soon enough. I discussed a little more than that, too!
- Dejounte Murray sweepstakes
- Mitchell Robinson extension (again)
- Brunson being a fixer upper
What a (painful) ride this season was. Creating content about the team felt debilitating down the stretch, but I'm back with a recap of some of the bright spots ahead of a long offseason.
IQ/Obi late season surge
RJ nearly has the reins
Randle on the way out?
Donovan Mitchell on the way in?
The third episode in RFTG's second series of recordings.
Me and Nick discuss the ins and outs of the team ahead of the deadline, as well as give our input on some rest of season expectations.
We also talk:
Mitch extension
RJ growth
Reddish minutes
Appreciate all the support, as usual, folks!
Ahead of their matchup with the Rockets, me and Nick Rinaldi discuss the peril of the 8-7 New York Knicks.
A broken starting five
The young guns of the future
Thibs taking accountability
And plenty more!
Happy 4th of July to everyone, and like the fireworks this weekend, I'm hoping free agency ends with a bang the next couple of days.
In the wake of the Jalen Brunson signing, Isaiah Hartenstein and Mitchell Robinson got some checks written up for them as well, and the Knicks are on the way to (hopefully) showing signs of life to start next season. Meanwhile, the Nets collapse and Knicks fans are relishing in that experience.
Mitch breaks the curse
Brunson as an upgrade
Thibodeau is still on the hot seat
As always, I thank you for the support!
The Knicks took everyone by surprise with the Kemba Walker signing, but they knew what they were doing.
Ridding the team of the toxicity at point guard and building on an otherwise lacking backcourt group makes for a healthier offense and a better environment for the staples of the franchise.
They're so close to becoming a contender and not looking back for years to come.
This is RJ's year
Kemba dynamics
We need Mitch to thrive
Summer League has been a show, and Obi Toppin the star of it. Meanwhile, the rookies continue to show out in their own ways while Immanuel Quickley battles the "not a point guard" narrative.
Is Toppin a long-term hold?
How will the rookies slot into the regular season rotation?
Are the Knicks capable of 82-0?
A lot has happened since my last episode, namely some draft selections and major trade rumors. I catch up to speed with y'all here!
Where are Knicks' free agents headed?
Can Grimes bring us a title?
Is IQ's hair change the answer to all our prayers?
Tragedy continues to strike the Knicks in the biggest stage of their season. Now down 3-1 to the Atlanta Hawks, it’ll take a miracle to rally back and advance to the second round.
A crushing defeat in Game 3 following an ethereal Game 2 has myself and other Knicks fans alike in shambles.
