I was hoping they would pick Mark Jackson, both for the entertainment value and to get him off my TV for the big games. |

There's talk of them putting out the red carpet for Bron this offseason, due to his Fizdale connection. Still that doubtful at best.
Something that's not going to be in the favor of the Knicks, long-term, is that their division is probably going to be the toughest division in the NBA. With Boston and Philly having at least two or three franchise cornerstones for at least the nest decade. Toronto will always be in the mix. And the Brooklyn Nets having a very underrated coach and front office. Plus with Porzingis out for the first few months of next season, its going to be a very long road for them. But having a well-regarded coach (for most players at least) is a good start to perhaps get some players to buy in to the process of the Knicks. Granted a manageable salary cap that is. |

Knicks went with Kevin Knox in the 1st round. Crowd didn't seem to like it, hoping they'd draft Michael Porter who went down the board because of injury concerns.
time will tell if he'll be like Porzingis who was also booed by the fans only to change their viewpoint with his play. |

Unfortunately Frank Isola was one of the cuts at the New York Daily News, as the newspaper slashed their sports staff from 35 to 9. I hope The Athletic picks him up to cover the Knicks.

Tronc is a freaking disaster of a company. It was tragic that Zuckerman offloaded it to Tronc and that it couldn't find a better buyer.
I get that the newspaper business is dying. |

Well this is mighty interesting. If true, of course. The next step would be finding someone with a very good track record and/or someone who's very passionated about changing the culture of the Knicks. That's another big challenge for another day. |
And a squashing of that rumor:

So far a 1-2 start, but they've been competitive in each game, and nearly beat the Celtics.
They lost their top rookie though, Kevin Knox for a few weeks. And they face the Warriors next week, so that's going to be a big test for a team that might be on the rise at last. |

The Knicks were actually leading in the 4th, till Durant's possible audition for the MSG Crowd. With 25 points in the 4th, turning the game into a blowout loss for the Knicks.
It seems unlikely that he would be part of the Knicks, but hey Bron went to the Lakers, so anything is possible. |
