The Future is Now.
It’s a done deal. Tyson Chandler will be joining the Knicks.
Per Howard Beck,
Knicks’ trades are complete. It’s a 3-team deal with Dallas and Washington. New York sends Turiaf, 2013 2nd-round pick and cash to Wizards.
Tyson Chandler To The Knicks?
Today, at 2PM, free-agency will officially begin, and according to multiple outlets, Tyson Chandler is 98% sure he will become a New York Knickerbocker.
This news came as a remarkable surprise to most Knicks fans, because as recently as this yesterday morning, no one saw this coming; we were still looking at the addition of Grant Hill to be the highlight of this year’s offseason, in hopes of acquiring Chris Paul next year. However, that all changed quickly.
Donnie Walsh, Your Roster Management Skills Will Be Missed.
As we head into the upcoming free-agency period, and season, with Glen Grunwald as the Knicks’ general manager, let’s take a minute to appreciate everything Donnie Walsh did for the Knicks, and show how important smart roster management is.
Welcome to the Knicks, Chris Paul
The rumors are flying, and today, it has been reported that Chris Paul’s agent, Leon Rose, informed the Hornets that Paul would like a trade to New York.
I had to have some fun with the news, so here’s a little image.
Roundtable: Lockout Over, Season Ahead
Well, it wasn’t quite a “nuclear winter”, but we got pretty close. To be fair, the CBA has not officially been signed, but we currently have a tentative agreement between both parties that is expected to be passed.
State Of The Knicks’ Roster

Welcome Back, NBA!
After 149 depressing, painful, NBA-less days, the NBA has reached a tentative agreement with the players to end the lockout.
We are back in business! After a 15 hour bargaining session on Friday, Billy Hunter and David Stern emerged from the meeting room, together, to a joint press conference:
NBA: Where Nothing Happens – The Shirt
The “Where Nothing Happens” image has received an incredible response, so I thought I would print some shirts up! I kept it simple by placing the image on a high-quality, ash-grey t-shirt.
New York Knicks @ Detroit Pistons – November 5th, 1999.
Due to the current lockout, instead of watching the first full season with Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire on the Knicks, we are left to imagine what could have been. Many, including myself, have anticipated this season to be one of the Knicks’ more successful years in more than a decade.
Blame Management, Not Market Size
Amongst many topics that have risen to the forefront during the lockout is that of the perceived competitive advantage that large market has over small markets. If you follow me on Twitter, @AzazNYK, you probably saw my rant disparaging this on Monday. It befuddles me that making the game balanced has become a major hang-up in the CBA negotiations, when if the issue is examined closer, it is evident that smart management trumps everything in the NBA.
