Karl-Anthony Towns is the first year of a four-year, $220 million extension. He will earn: $53 million in 2025-26 $57 million in 2026-27 and $61 million in 2027-28 That is a guaranteed contract. The largest in Knicks franchise history. NY is on the hook whether he is healthy or not.

While there are undeniable X-and-O / structural issues plaguing New York on the defensive end, arguably the most alarming aspect of Friday's defeat was the Knicks' lack of competitive effort.

Deuce McBride made his first start of the season last night. And he became the first player in the NBA this season to tally at least five three-pointers, three steals, three blocks and three assists in a single game.

If a person from another planet watched those 3 hours last night - would they think the NBA was more focused/concerned about the future comedy career of Kevin Hart or the future basketball career of Victor Wembanyama?

Kevin Hart, Chuck and Shaq getting 100x more airtime than Jalen Brunson and Cade Cunningham on All-Star Sunday night … speaks volumes about how badly the NBA markets their product

What an absolute joke… Going forward, with the new TV contract kicking in, there needs to be an alternative feed for each nationally televised game where fans that actually the enjoy the NBA and love watching games can go for informed insight and analysis before, during and after each contest.
