    Knicks eyeing ‘relentless’ Isaac Okoro as NBA Draft option

    He’s not a scoring point guard, he’s not even a good shooter. But he’s got a reputation for being a winner and defender — and that might be what the moribund Knicks need with their No. 8 draft pick.

    Knicks must go hard after Fred VanVleet in NBA free agency

    The Knicks have had as good an offseason as a franchise mired in a 20-year slump can have. They hired the best man available for their open coaching job in Tom Thibodeau.

  • Knicks fall to No. 8 pick in 2020 NBA Draft as lottery misery continues

    Knicks fall to No. 8 pick in 2020 NBA Draft as lottery misery continues

    The streak continues as the Knicks not only failed to move up but they dropped from No. 6 to 8 in Thursday’s lottery.
