The New & Improved New York Knicks!

By on

        Since acquiring OG Anunoby on December 30th, the New York Knicks have been arguably the hottest team in the NBA. As a matter of fact, they are 16-4 since acquiring OG. Even with already having a great team the Knicks did not stop looking to improve their roster. At the trade deadline, the New York Knicks made a deal with the Detroit Pistons and acquired a couple great veterans. 



        Reported by Adrian Wojnarowski, the New York Knicks acquired guard Alec Burks and forward Bojan Bogdanovic in exchange for Quentin Grimes, Malachi Flynn, Evan Fournier, Ryan Arcidiacono and two second-round picks. This is Burks' second stint with the Knicks, he last played for them in the 2021-22 season. Burks was also part of that 2020-21 Knicks team that made the playoffs for the first time in seven years. He is a solid shooter, shooting at 40% from three-point range this season, and will be a great addition to the bench unit. 



        Bojan Bogdanovic has been involved in many trade rumors the last couple seasons and lands on a contender. After spending three seasons with the Utah Jazz, Bojan would then get traded to the Detroit Pistons where they have just been losing and finishing the season at the bottom of the standings. Bojan adds three-point shooting to the front court and plenty of playoff experience. The new acquisitions add depth for the New York Knicks as they look to be serious championship contenders in the Eastern Conference.

          Kelly Oubre Jr. has been quite the journeyman in the NBA. In 2015, he was drafted by the Washington Wizards then after a few seasons would get traded to the Phoenix Suns. After a short stint in Phoenix, Oubre signed a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors. Following a brief year in the Bay Area, he would spend a couple seasons with the Charlotte Hornets where he would have some of his best games. This season, Oubre finished a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers and will hit the free agency market again this summer.            For a player on a veteran minimum, Oubre was a significant impactful player this season. He averaged 15 points and 5 rebounds per game. His defense was nothing less than amazing and his athleticism played to his strength this year. Oubre will have multiple suitors this summer from championship-contending teams.            The Philadelphia 76ers...

          It is officially the end of an era for the Toronto Raptors. Pascal Siakam has been mentioned in trade rumors for most of the season.

It has been announced that Pascal Siakam has been traded to the Indiana Pacers.            Pascal Siakam was drafted by the Toronto Raptors in 2016 with the twenty-seventh overall pick. He was a huge piece in helping the Raptors win their first ever NBA championship in 2019 against the Golden State Warriors. After winning a championship he was named an NBA All-Star in 2020 and again in 2023. Siakam has also made All-NBA twice, All-NBA Second Team in 2020 and then All-NBA Third Team in 2022.

Knicks Big Man Search

By on

          The New York Knicks are coming off their first 50-win season in over a decade but after losing Isaiah Hartenstein in free agency they need to look for another big. They only have two centers on the roster, Mitchell Robinson and Jericho Sims. Having Robinson go back into the starting lineup isn't much of an issue, besides some health concerns, but Sims as the backup is still a question. He has yet to be a consistent rotation player in his young career. Matter of fact, in his three seasons in the league he has only played in over 50 games once.            There aren't any free-agent centers that can be seen as reliable backups for the Knicks. The team still has seven of their own first-round picks that they could trade to find the big man they need. According to an X account, "BigKnicksEnergy," a league source reported that the Knicks are interested in Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards and are willing to move ...
