PACOME DADIET'S FUTURE IN NEW YORK IS IN JEOPARDY! THIS IS WHY MIKE BROWN IS CHALLENGING HIM! However, Dadiet has failed that test and even worse, he's regressed at something he has been working on for two years. This is why his name continues to be brought up in trade conversations. If the Knicks want to add a wing and center to this team, without triggering the second apron, they must make a trade. Dadiet is that move that needs to be because his time in New York needs to come to an end... Troy Mahabir breaks all of...

But NY also favors Bruce Brown after what he's been doing during camp, preseason and in practice. Internally, Brown already has fans.

JAMES DOLAN HAS SHUT DOWN CONTRACT EXTENSION TALKS FOR KAT, JOSH HART, AND MILES MCBRIDE BEFORE THE START OF THE SEASON! According to new reports, the main reason the Knicks put out a statement about stopping all negotiation talks today was due to James Dolan not liking KAT's comments earlier in the week. Ian Begley also provided updates on why NY chose to stop all contract talks: They wanted to stop the noise and focus just on the season. However, if talks don't get completed by January, the Knicks could seek to trade KAT. James Dolan is certainly to...

THE FIRST PRESEASON GAME IS OVER! While we didn't get the result we wanted. There were some good things that we need to talk about. There's also some things NY can work on defensively. But I loved watching NY play again. I wish we got the W but in preseason, it's more than just the wins or losses. It's watching how this team gets back in action. The best thing I can say is that NY's starters are in sync and playing well. Offensively they were good. Defensively, still a step slow... Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!<...

KARL-ANTHONY TOWNS IS FRUSTRATED BY THE KNICKS AND THEIR OFFERS TO HIM FOR A NEW CONTRACT. According to reports, a deal isn't close with Towns and the Knicks and that is leading to Towns feeling disrespected. If Towns and the Knicks cannot agree on an extension and Towns hits free agency he could leave for nothing. But NY wouldn't just let him walk for free and would likely want something back in return for him. This is not the way you want to enter a season... Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!
