Is Jack Kayil the missing piece for the @NYKnicks guard rotation? 🗽🔥 Through two Summer League games, the rookie has been DIALED IN by dropping 19 points vs. Detroit and showing off a handle that fits Mike Brown’s system like a glove. 🧤🏀 Pace, pull-up scoring, and IQ. Read why he’s the perfect secondary creator to develop alongside Brunson! 👇 #Knicks #NBASummerLeague #NYK #JackKayil

Knicks fans are dumpster diving through the barrel for free agent centers as we speak. That's not where the answer is, because if the Knicks are going to find a real defensive backup 5 and move Andre Drummond into a third-string role, it's probably gotta come in a trade. So I broke down what's actually possible under the CBA, how salary aggregation changes the board, and which centers Tyler Kolek, Pacôme Dadiet, and Miles McBride could realistically help the Knicks get. There are a few names fans already know, a few they probably haven't thought about, and one or two who fit Mike Brown's defense better than you'd expect. Full ist below 👇👇👇

I just got the sad news that my Grandma Roz passed away at the age of 94. A Brownsville native, my grandmother was one of the first women to graduate from Brooklyn College with a degree in Chemistry. She was born to two very sick parents who both died while she was very young. My grandmother was a picky eater growing up and she never let me forget it. She introduced new food to me and when I fussed, she said “don’t say you don’t like something until you try it.” In fact, my first memory was her feeding me slices of cheese. I’m sure she just wanted me to be healthy, but it taught me a deeper lesson. That small value, helped me develop an open mind, not just for food, but everything in life. She taught me how to cross the streets in New York. One time, I got so frustrated that my grandma made me hold her hand, I ran off into the middle of the street with cars passing. When she rescued me 😂 she yelled at me and my credit score was dead on arrival ever since. My grandma spoke as a matter of fact. Confidently. She challenged me every step of my maturity. That helped me not only believe in myself but understand that along the way, I would have to put up as well. Even when you achieve something? It’s not enough. There’s still work to put in and a level to reach. With all her grandchildren, Grandma Roz would mark their height. Every visit, I’d see my growth. Through my younger cousins, I saw the evolution of her commitment to raising our family. I always respected that. My grandma once went to the Queens public library at flushing and picked me up a VHS of He Got Game. She tossed the case on the tv stand in my room and said “watch it, there’s nudity in it” 😂 When I was a teen, She would often have a secret non alcoholic beer with me… it was her way of being dangerous and I always got a kick out of it. As I got older, my car rides to NY always stopped at my grandma’s house in flushing. She would treat me the same way from when I was a kid. Treating an hour ride from Jersey as a “long ride you must be starving” taking out a piece of toast and offering a “little margarine” in her Brooklyn accent. At night, coming to my room with extra pillows, which she never called pillows, but “cushions” As a kid, my grandma would wake me up every morning singing Irving Berlin’s “Oh, How I Hate To Get Up In The Morning” I learned to enjoy the song because splashing water would come after. Something about that song. It’s so perfect. It’s so spiritual. I always imagined myself signing it at her funeral. I don’t know if I will, but now she won’t have to wake up every morning. She will get to sleep. With the eternal. Im forever grateful for such an amazing matriarch that I would have NOTHING without. I’m sad, broken, but she lived a long life and I know how blessed she was to make it a full century’s worth on this earth. My last experience with her was last week, she wouldn’t take her medicine. I just came up to her, put the pills in my hand and gave it to her. She took it. She grabbed my hand and kissed it. I’m so thankful to my mom, the healthcare workers, for allowing me to have a moment like that. Rest in Peace, Roslind Dorwitt aka Grandma Roz, or as our family called her… The Wizard of ROZ. ❤️

Since the Warriors repeated in 2017 and 2018 the NBA has shown there isn’t one blueprint to winning a championship. Every year teams panic and try to copy whatever just worked. That’s the mistake. - Raptors made a bold trade for Kawhi. - Lakers bought in LeBron & added AD. - Bucks stayed patient with Giannis the superstar they drafted/developed. - Warriors won again by trusting their championship core & culture. - Nuggets stayed patient with Jokic & Murray building through the draft and development. - Celtics trusted Tatum & Brown through years of playoff heartbreak until it paid off. - OKC built patiently through the draft then made smart trades & roster additions around Shai. - Knicks assembled a contender through aggressive trades, key free agent signings, and building the right roster around Brunson. There is no universal formula. The best organizations don’t chase the last champion’s blueprint they build the one that fits their own roster, front office, stars, timeline & identity.

Let’s keep it a buck: Mohamed Diawara has been absolute ass in Vegas. 1-for-14 from the field is nasty work, and nobody is crazy for being worried. But forcing a connective 3-and-D wing to run a broken offense as a de facto point guard is always going to look bad. Before you panic, read my breakdown of the good, bad, and ugly of Diawara's Summer League through two games. 👇👇👇

The New York Knicks might have found the ultimate diamond in the rough. 💎🏀 Tyler Nickel is lighting up Vegas, dropping 10 threes in just two games and proving he’s the "Second-Round Sniper" the roster needs. At 6'7" with a lightning-fast release, the 47th pick is looking like the absolute steal of the draft. From the "collegiate wilderness" to Madison Square Garden, see why Nickel is the perfect fit next to Jalen Brunson: I broke down how he will fit in the Knicks ' offensive playbook below 👇👇👇
