The NBA has announced it has fined the Knicks Amare Stoudemire $50k for using "offensive and derogatory language" in Twitter direct message.
Lin may soon find himself with a host of suitors, but Knicks coach Woodson is confident the point guard will re-sign with New York.
After his latest indiscretion, directing an anti-gay slur at one of his Twitter critics, Craig says the Knicks have reached a crossroads with Amar'e Stoudemire.
It was Murphy's Law for the Knicks this season, and it only got worse as the team got into the playoffs. Well, that changed on Friday when the league ruled that both Steve Novak and Jeremy Lin would have their Bird Rights.
Knicks fans know Amar'e Stoudemire tweets under the handle @Amareisreal. Maybe he should consider changing it to @Amareisrealmean after allegedly hurling an anti-gay slur at a critical fan this weekend.
It doesn't take long for a player to change his perception. If James can do it in Miami, Anthony can do it in New York.
An arbitrator has granted point guard Jeremy Lin his Early Bird Rights, according to The New York Times. The decision will help give New York more latitude once the free-agency period kicks off on July 1st.
"The Knicks are a great franchise and I live in New York City [each summer], so I'd definitely consider them if they were interested," the eight-time NBA All-Star recently said at a promotional appearance in Manhattan.
The Knicks can match any offer Lin receives and have said they intend to keep him, though they reportedly may find some competition from the Toronto Raptors.
Not only is LeBron James the best player on Earth, he has a Secretariat-like lead on the second-best player.
Free-agent point guard and future Hall of Famer Jason Kidd told reporters recently that while he's open to re-signing with the Mavericks, he could also see a scenario in which he joins forces with current Nets superstar Deron Williams.
The Knicks met with Argentinian point guard Pablo Prigioni last week, according to The New York Post. The 35-year-old has played on Argentina's Olympic team and spent last season playing in Spain with Unicaja Laboral.
There are real things Knicks fans should worry about. So don't panic over something that a petulant Jackson said to HBO.
Steve Silverman believes the may still be open for Phil Jackson to one day lead the Knicks.
Phil Jackson described the Knicks as "clumsy" and said "they don't fit well together" on HBO's Real Sports.
Let's be candid: the main reason New Yorkers hate LeBron James is not because he burned Cleveland, but rather because he spurned the Knicks. But there are very valid reasons to feel rancor toward King James.
David Stern's recent appearance on Jim Rome's radio show made headlines because the commissioner didn't like the fact that Rome had the nerve to ask him about the draft lottery.
Team basketball: it's a lesson the old Knicks knew well. It's a lesson you hope Mike Woodson and his charges are taking note of and will put into play next year.
Former Knicks star John Starks believes hiring Mike Woodson was precisely what the team needed to do in order to take them to the next level.
What Craig couldn't understand was why the Knicks elected to make it official this past Friday, on the eve of a three-day holiday weekend.
No coach can coax this bunch better than Mike Woodson, who earned his perch on the bench. The players played like they wanted Woodson to lead them, and now they have him.
The Knicks will be in the best position to challenge the Heat if Anthony finally buys into the team concept.
One playoff victory was good enough for Mike Woodson to return as New York Knicks coach — even with Phil Jackson lurking as a potential candidate.
The Knicks have a three-year window with this group to win a title, and now they are committed to Mike Woodson being the guy who is going to take them there. Don't tell me that there aren't other people you would rather see in that chair.
Miami Beach police say Knicks guard J.R. Smith has been arrested on a bench warrant for not having a valid driver's license.
