Abdul Carter didn’t get a ton of sacks last year, but he ranked 4th in pressures and 6th in pass rush win rate. After rewatching him, I’m convinced he’s gonna be a star.
Landry Shamet turned down the opportunity for bigger offers from other contenders to re-sign with the Knicks and defend the title, per sources. Those offers were coming if Shamet hit free agency. Instead, he and Knicks agree on 4-year, $24 million deal to bring him back to New York, as ESPN first reported. Bringing back Shamet was a priority for the club. If Knicks stay under second apron, it will be very difficult for them to now retain Mitchell Robinson.
Leon Rose navigating Dolan to get the Knicks a title is one of the greatest accomplishments in sports history. He belongs in the basketball hall of fame.
I’d prefer the Knicks FO main purpose be to try & win a 2nd championship than maneuvering to avoid James Dolan paying more into revenue sharing but that’s just me.
The Knicks FO deserves the benefit of the doubt to navigate around this but James Dolan has reminded us since the Knicks made the Finals that he’s a giant fucking loser & should be treated as such
Knicks have acquired Karl-Anthony Towns from Minnesota for Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo and a first-round pick via Detroit, sources tell me and @JonKrawczynski.
Restricted free agent Mohamed Diawara intends to sign a multiyear, $10-plus million deal to return to the New York Knicks, sources tell ESPN. Diawara -- the No. 51 pick in last year's NBA draft -- was part of the champion Knicks after spending the season on a standard contract.
