Knicks

Kemba Walker has officially been traded by the New York Knicks and of course, fans have their reactions to it.

However, his time in Detroit is going to be short-lived. It's also culminated with the NBA Draft during the night hours as there's been so much drama whether it comes to picks being made or trades going down. The NBA has been on fire throughout the day on Thursday.

The immediate returns were minimal, though there remains optimism that at least a few of their four picks — Quentin Grimes, Miles McBride, Rokas Jokubaitis and ...

Taken with the 58th pick, Sims averaged 2.2 points and 4.1 rebounds across 41 games and five starts. There was genuine excitement when McBride, a projected first-round pick, fell to the Knicks at No. 36. Limited to 46 games because of injuries and a bout with COVID-19, the former Houston star shot 38.6 percent from long range, made six starts and averaged six points in 17.1 minutes. In time, the 25th overall pick could turn out to be a find, especially if he can stay healthy. In 37 EuroLeague games (35 as a reserve) for Barcelona FC, Jokubaitis averaged 7.2 points and 2.6 assists, with 1.7 turnovers in 17 minutes. He came to them with the reputation as a stout defender, but he was rarely used, averaging just 9.3 minutes in 40 games.

However, the Knicks didn't give up on their pursuit of Ivey easily. They are trying to make a deal with Detroit to acquire the jet-quick point guard out of ...

The Knicks are acquiring multiple picks in that deal and are making one last serious push to trade for Ivey with those additional assets, The Athletic’s James L. Edwards III tweets. They are trying to make a deal with Detroit to acquire the jet-quick point guard out of Purdue, according to Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer ( Twitter link) and SNY TV’s Ian Begley ( Twitter link). However, the Knicks didn’t give up on their pursuit of Ivey easily.

The Knicks also sent Ousmane Dieng to the Oklahoma City Thunder two picks earlier, at No. 11, getting three conditional first-round picks in return.

The Knicks are operating with a few picks in this year's NBA draft. Here's what you need to know.

Stifling defense under Tom Thibodeau hasn't exactly resulted in a lot of points on the other end, nor has it resulted in a lot of wins. - Center: With Mitchell Robinson and the front office not coming to terms on a contract extension, the oft-injured center is likely headed elsewhere in free agency. While New York has tried the combo guard route, they've lacked a true floor general for years.

Yesterday, Ian Begley speculated about whether the New York Knicks might move up in tonight's NBA Draft to grab Shaedon Sharpe.

If the Knicks are willing to give up enough assets, they can get up to No. 4 or No. 5. Although Sharpe sat out during his one year at Kentucky, he has wowed in workouts and is expected to be taken in the latter half of tonight’s top-ten. A backcourt of Ivey and LaMelo Ball would be exciting, indeed. And Givony proposes that the Thunder are interested in moving up from their 12th spot to acquire Sharpe or Ivey. The idea that OKC could finish tonight with Chet Holmgren and Shaedon Sharpe on their books is sort of astounding. The Kentucky guard worked out for Charlotte. Givony thinks the Hornets would grab him if they can find a way to move up from the 13th spot. The price to trade up to the fourth or fifth pick in the draft will be significant.

The New York Knicks and Oklahoma City Thunder just made the first major trade of the night at the NBA Draft.

Apparently, the Knicks are not enthralled with their options at this point in the first round, as they have currently traded out of it. Before the Knicks could officially execute the trade, their fans in attendance in Brooklyn gave Dieng a "Welcome to the NBA" moment.

The Pistons acquired veteran Kemba Walker on Thursday from the Knicks as part of a three-team trade involving the Hornets, sources said.

Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau dropped Walker from the Knicks' playing rotation in mid-November, and Walker also battled knee soreness in January. The Knicks traded a 2023 conditional first-round pick they received from the Oklahoma City Thunder, plus four second-round picks, to the Hornets for Duren, the Memphis center who was picked No. 13 by Charlotte. New York then traded Duren and Walker to the Pistons for a 2025 conditional Milwaukee Bucks first-round pick. The Detroit Pistons acquired veteran guard Kemba Walker from the New York Knicks as part of a three-team trade involving the Charlotte Hornets that also saw the Pistons acquire the draft rights to Jalen Duren on Thursday night.

The diehard Knicks duo provided plenty of entertainment during the broadcast of the 2022 NBA Draft.

According to Silver, New York is receiving three conditional future first-round picks in the deal. By trading out of the first round, the Knicks reduce their salary cap obligations for this year, giving them more elbow room to dump salary if needed for another trade, perhaps as soon as a few days from now, cap expert Nate Duncan tweets. OKC used that pick on wing Jalen Williams from Santa Clara.

Surprising few, the top three picks in tonight's 2022 NBA Draft were Paolo Banchero, Chet Holmgren, and Jabari Smith. Surprising many, the Sacramento Kings ...

New York has begun clearing cap room during a busy Draft night, reportedly trading the veteran point guard to Detroit.

The Pistons got that MIL pick from Portland in the Jerami Grant deal yesterday. This latest deal would also send out Walker’s $9 million remaining salary, while returning another future first, a protected pick originally belonging to the Milwaukee Bucks. • 2023 second-round pick (via New York)

Here's a comprehensive breakdown on Stephen A. Smith's showing during ABC's broadcast of the 2022 NBA Draft.

Stephen A. Smith didn't just hold his contempt for the Knicks Thursday night. "Although I like all the attributes he brings to the table, when they start questioning your shooting ability, ... that's a potential liability," Smith said. However, with the way Willie Green was able to implement rookies Herb Jones and Jose Alvarado into the rotation despite neither being an elite shooter, it seems at least plausible that Daniels could have a part to play next season. In a draft filled with talent, that just wouldn't do for Smith, who had to be consoled by his ESPN colleagues when he realized the Knicks weren't taking anybody. New York took Ousmane Dieng with the No. 11 pick before sending his rights to the Oklahoma City Thunder. That didn't do a whole lot to assuage Smith and Lee's fears, though. He's fed up with Nets star Kyrie Irving, that much is true. ...We've got picks all over the place. After all, you can never have too many versatile wing defenders. So it was no surprise that Smith, like so many Knicks fans, were pinning their hopes on New York's selection at No. 11. That didn't happen, however. Well, him and film director and Knicks superfan Spike Lee. Stephen A. Smith on the Knicks

The Knicks didn't trade up for Jaden Ivey. They traded out of the first round entirely in Thursday's NBA draft, all with Jalen Brunson in mind.

ESPN cap guru Bobby Marks reported that the moves will leave the Knicks with $104 million in guaranteed contracts, and the cap is expected to reside at $122 million. Instead, they took Dieng, leading to loud boos from Knicks fans at Barclays Center, and quickly dealt him. Brunson stepped up when star Luka Doncic was out at the start of the playoffs, exploding for 41 points in a Game 2 victory over the Jazz in the opening round. They traded out of the first round entirely in Thursday’s NBA draft, all with Jalen Brunson in mind it appears while adding future protected picks and trading some away all to clear cap space. Amid reports they desperately tried to pry the Purdue superstar guard away from the Pistons, who took him with the fifth pick, the Knicks wound up trading the 11th pick, which was used on French wing Ousmane Dieng, to the Thunder for three conditioning future first-round picks, commissioner Adam Silver announced during the draft. As part of the deal with the Pistons, the Knicks received the Bucks’ first-round pick in 2025.

They pulled off three separate trades that had players and picks flying all over the place, and it took hours to figure out all of the details. Now that the ...

Finally, the Knicks then flipped the No. 13 pick (Jalen Duren) and Kemba Walker to the Detroit Pistons in a third deal. The question, though, is whether their tunnel vision for a chance to sign Brunson clouded their judgement. While the Knicks do need help now, getting three first round picks in exchange for one is pretty good value. Instead, they decided to trade out of the first round by sending that pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for three future first rounders. Now that the dust has settled, let's take a closer look at all the moves the Knicks made on Thursday. Thursday night was not so straightforward, as the Knicks were the busiest team in the 2022 NBA Draft.

Spin their 2022 NBA draft performance however the hell you want. The end result doesn't change. The Knicks are helplessly, almost hilariously, incapable of ...

The Knicks are neither close to a finished product nor do they have a legitimate star in their employ. And beyond that, there's no way the Knicks do this without some assurance they have a chance to pry Brunson out of Dallas. If this is what happened, everyone in the Knicks front office needs to be fired immediately. Kemba’s salary for next season — in a contract this front office signed him to — is only $8 million. On Thursday night, the Knicks yet again revealed the truth about themselves. And head coach Tom Thibodeau probably would have ignored either lottery prospect in pursuit of 35 to 43 victories. The only other players to match or exceed those benchmarks: Kevin Durant and Jrue Holiday.

If the 2023 WAS first doesn't convey in 2026, then it becomes Wizards' 2026 and 2027 seconds.

if the 2023 DEN first doesn't convey by 2025, then it becomes Denver's 2025 and 2025 seconds. The Knicks are helplessly, almost hilariously, incapable of mapping out or following through on a coherent vision. The full (and complex) order of operations is as follows, per ESPN's Tim Bontemps: Functionally, the Knicks didn't just trade the 11th overall pick.

The Knicks sent Ousmane Dieng to the Thunder in a trade then mmade another trade with the Pistons and Hornets involving Jalen Duren and Kemba Walker.

Despite trading Duren, Charlotte also got its long-needed center with the No. 15 pick: Duke’s Mark Williams. Oklahoma City is overflowing with future picks and could justify overpaying to get a desired player. Both New York at No. 11 and Charlotte at No. 13 had good reason to trade those picks. The Pistons come out well ahead in this deal. Giannis Antetokounmpo is still under contract through then, and, even if the bottom falls out on the Bucks, the pick is top-four protected. The Knicks are paying a fairly substantial price to unload Walker’s $9,165,471 salary.

The New York Knicks reportedly are dealing Kemba Walker and No. 13 pick Jalen Duren to the Detroit Pistons in a draft-day trade.

Oklahoma City has two more selections in the 2022 draft at Nos. 30 and 34. The organization took Gonzaga big man Chet Holmgren with the No. 2 pick. Williams, meanwhile, averaged 18.0 points and 4.4 rebounds per game with the Broncos in his junior season. He averaged 11.6 points and 3.5 assists across 37 games before being shut down for the season in February. Earlier in the draft, the Knicks selected French forward Ousmane Dieng with the No. 11 pick and quickly sent him to the Thunder. New York reportedly received multiple first-round picks from Oklahoma City’s treasure trove of assets in the deal. The New York Knicks reportedly dealt the point guard, along with No. 13 pick Jalen Duren, to the Detroit Pistons.

The New York Knicks opted to not make a selection in the first round of the 2022 NBA Draft and instead cleared cap space for a possible future move.

To get him, the Knicks would have to give up a significant amount. Preparing to do so hasn’t been kind to the organization in the past, but could something finally happen this summer? ESPN cap guru Bobby Marks reported that the moves will leave the Knicks with $104 million in guaranteed contracts, and the cap is expected to reside at $122 million. But if that’s what the front office is hoping for and it doesn’t happen, that’ll be a bad look. Instead, New York made a flurry of trades and kept the No. 42 pick to select Duke’s Trevor Keels. Brunson being on the Knicks’ roster seemed like a pipe dream a few months ago, and it very well could still be one.

The New York Knicks made the first trade of the 2022 NBA draft on Thursday night, but they were actively working to make moves before the event even began.

The Knicks could also be positioning themselves to make a run at Kyrie Irving. Wojnarowski reported Thursday that the seven-time All-Star gave the Brooklyn Nets a list of teams he would consider in a sign-and-trade, including New York, if he can't work out a deal to remain in Brooklyn. On the latest episode of The Hoop Collective (starts at the 20:30 mark), ESPN's Brian Windhorst noted the Knicks "were interested in trading back" if they couldn't trade up for "the entire day" leading up to the draft.
