If managed properly -- always a large variable with the Knicks -- we could see a fairly good basketball team fairly quickly.

In the latest episode of the "City Game" podcast, John Schmeelk and Steve Lichtenstein break down the first two weeks of the season for both of New York's basketball teams. They start with Kristaps Porzingis.
