In case anybody is wondering how I pass my time away from the Knicks, you can venture over to our Giants blog and get a look at what I will be spending part of my week doing for a little while.

Actually, there’s a chance I may not go home until the impressive lunch spreads cease.

I’ve [...]

It seems to me a message is being sent as Madison Square Garden reorganizes.

The powers that be announced the hiring of Scott O’Neil, who’s coming over from the NBA to serve as president of MSG sports. He will oversee the business and marketing operations. Steve Mills no longer has the autonomy to make important decisions. [...]

Since the Knicks have never been in the business of cutting payroll, I expected to see a lot of the questions being raised here and elsewhere in cyberspace.

A lot of you are looking for an explanation.

We didn’t have an opportunity to speak with Knicks president Donnie Walsh yesterday, so the official reasons for dealing Renaldo [...]

The deal is done.

Renaldo Balkman is going to Denver with a sack of money for Taurean Green and Bobby Jones, who are now buyout candidates. The Knicks are getting a second-round pick in 2010, as well.

You can see where this is going.

Balkman was the kind of player New York embraces. He’s a hustler with a [...]

I’m thinking Donnie Walsh is ready to move on without Stephon Marbury, and he’s exploring a number of ways to move Zach Randolph.

There’s no hurry to act in either case.And he’s got a couple of months to decide what to do with David Lee and Nate Robinson, who are both eligible for contract extensions. It [...]

I got a chance to do a quick interview with Anthony Roberson this morning, and he’s feeling pretty good about locking down a guaranteed contract after brief stints with Memphis and Golden State.

There were also visits to Israel and Turkey.

So what’s different about his game since he came out in 2005 that got the attention [...]

It’s pretty obvious why David Lee is so darn popular in these parts.

He shows up.

Lee finished up a workout this afternoon, then spent time at Pace University where the Knicks were conducting a summer  camp for 140 kids. It’s part of his routine. He’s normally just a phone call away when the organization needs somebody [...]

It was only a matter of time.

For the last decade, the NBA has been diligently promoting the game of basketball on a global scale and the audience is growing exponentially. In some parts of the world, the sport is thriving. Ask the international scouts. There are now a dozen teams in Europe in position to [...]

The sun was out all week on the Delaware seashore, which I can highly reccomend if you happen to enjoy miniature golf, a plate full of seafood or just kicking back in a beach chair with a good book.

Don’t forget to apply sunscreen to your feet, though.

I was back in time on Sunday to watch the final [...]

I haven’t yet had enough crab dip, so here’s another guest blog from Peter Gurney, a longtime Knicks fan who’s checking in from Bedford Hills:

It was a real disappointment to find out that Gallo had been shut down for what is likely to be the rest of the summer league. Toward the end of [...]
