THIS KNICKS ROSTER COULD LOOK VERY DIFFERENT NEXT SEASON! MULTIPLE PLAYERS ARE LEAVING NEW YORK IF THIS HAPPENS! According to reports, Jose Alvarado, Mitchell Robinson, Landry Shamet, Jeremy Sochan, Jordan Clarkson and possibly others may not return next season given James Dolan's comments about staying out of the second apron. It's likely that NY will have to replace veteran players with younger, less experienced players to make up the difference. But if anyone can keep this team competitive, despite the limitations, it would be Leon Rose... Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the mixed fan experience around the Knicks championship parade, from complaints about blocked access to the reality of security concerns in New York City. The conversation then turns toward the future of the Knicks, with callers pushing for aggressive moves and Evan weighing how ruthless Leon Rose should be after delivering a title. The guys also dig into James Dolan's comments about the NBA's second apron and what they could mean for a championship team trying to run it back. Then Evan makes the case that critical comments from the Phillies broadcast about the Mets defense should be played in the locker room, hoping they can become the same kind of bulletin board material Philadelphia once used against Keith Hernandez.

The Knicks are champions, the parade glow is still fresh, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber begin the conversation every fan knew was coming: what happens next? James Dolan's comments about the NBA's second apron turn the celebration into a debate over money, flexibility, and how far an owner should go to protect a championship window. Evan pushes back on the idea that any New York owner should say a check is too big, while Tiki weighs the business reality of keeping a contender together. The conversation also touches on Leon Rose's role, the possibility of running it back with key pieces like Mitchell Robinson and Landry Shamet, fan reaction to the parade, and a caller's throwback frustration over “Who Let the Dogs Out.”

The Knicks are NBA champions, the parade is over, and Evan & Tiki are finally ready to ask what comes next. Evan reacts to James Dolan's comments about the second apron and why Knicks fans should not want to hear a billionaire owner talk about a check being too big. The guys debate whether Leon Rose can convince Dolan to spend, what it means for Mitchell Robinson, Landry Shamet and the rest of the championship core, and whether Karl-Anthony Towns could eventually become a tough business decision. Plus, fans call in with parade stories, Evan investigates whether Mayor Mamdani is really a Knicks fan, the guys argue over which New York team could have the next massive parade, and the show gets into the Yankees' loss to the White Sox, Anthony Volpe's mistake, Aaron Boone analytics, Mets-Phillies drama, Francisco Lindor's return, Idiots with Idioms and some World Cup confusion.

The Knicks are champions, the parade is over, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber are ready to ask the question fans may not want to face yet: what comes next? James Dolan's comments about the NBA's second apron spark a passionate debate about whether a billionaire owner should ever say the check is too big when a championship window is open. Evan and Tiki break down the risks of running it back, the future decisions around Mitchell Robinson, Landry Shamet, Karl Anthony Towns, and Leon Rose's next moves. They also react to Knicks parade stories from fans, the debate over Mayor Mamdani's Knicks fandom, a classic Mets and Yankees crossover moment, and the turning point in the Yankees' loss to the White Sox.

Gio wonders if World Cup fever is hitting the suburbs today, before the guys take calls from Knicks fans and people heading to the US Open. Jerry's update brings Mike Brown talking player sacrifice, Jalen Brunson's message to the haters, and Leon Rose's words for Knicks supporters. Then, the Yankees fall to the White Sox after baserunning issues, Juan Soto's two homers power a Mets win over the Phillies, and Boomer closes the hour with a TSA warning for Europeans overpacking American ranch dressing.

Jerry has Mike Brown talking about players being all in and sacrificing. Jalen Brunson had a message for the haters. Leon Rose had a message to the Knicks supporters. The Yankees lost to the White Sox and had some issues running the basepaths. Juan Soto homered twice as the Mets beat the Phillies.

Bob Ryan and Jeff Goodman dig into the Giannis-to-Boston rumors once again — is it finally time to move on from the Tatum-Brown era, or is health the real risk with Antetokounmpo? They debate whose team it actually is right now, whether Joe Mazzulla can solve the touches problem the way Phil Jackson once did, and what a realistic package from Miami would even look like. Plus: a deep dive into the Knicks' historic championship run — crediting Leon Rose's roster-building, the decision to move on from Tom Thibodeau, and why Jalen Brunson's old-school mentality and work ethic might be more responsible for New York's title than anyone's giving him credit for. 0:00 - Intro 0:56 - The Giannis-Jaylen Brown Trade Debate Resurfaces 1:13 - Bob's Concern: Can Giannis Stay Healthy? 2:28 - Has the Tatum-Brown Era Run Its Course? 4:04 - Why Giannis's Game Fits Better with Boston's Style 5:55 - Whose Team Is It, Tatum's or Brown's? 6:16 - The Phil Jackson Comparison & What Great Coaches Actually Do 9:48 - Is It a Talent Problem or a Chemistry Problem? 11:57 - PrizePicks 13:43 - Would Trading for Giannis Alone Be Enough? 16:24 - The "No Top 50 Player" Narrative Around the Knicks 17:58 - Why Brunson Is Better Than People Are Admitting 21:30 - The Karl-Anthony Towns Comparison & Style Adjustments 25:05 - Bob's Final Thoughts: Crediting Leon Rose's Roster Building 26:05 - Why Firing Tibbs Was the Right Move 28:23 - Giving Dolan Credit for Hiring Leon Rose 30:03 - Don't Undervalue a Great Offensive Rebounder 30:48 - Outro Celtics on CLNS Media is Powered by:

Live from City Hall, Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber capture the emotion, chaos, and disbelief of a Knicks championship parade that many fans wondered if they would ever see. With the Canyon of Heroes packed, Jalen Brunson leading the celebration, and New York fully consumed by orange and blue, the long wait finally feels real. The conversation dives into why this title team means so much, from Brunson's rise to Knicks legend status to a starting five built from players other teams were willing to move on from. Evan and Tiki also reflect on Leon Rose's vision, the citywide party atmosphere, the franchise ghosts being put to rest, and the tension between soaking in the moment and eventually turning toward what comes next.

The conversation captures the emotion, chaos, and disbelief of the day while also breaking down how this Knicks team was built. Evan and Tiki focus on the chip on the shoulder shared by Brunson, Hart, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Towns, all players whose former teams were willing to move on before Leon Rose brought them together and turned them into NBA champions.

Evan Roberts called in live from his fourth career championship parade before Jerry's final update featured James Dolan reflecting on his ownership tenure, Mike Breen discussing Leon Rose and Jalen Brunson, and Matt Barnes apologizing to Brunson.

THE KNICKS CHANGE ROSTER PLANS AFTER JAMES DOLAN GAVE LEON ROSE AN ULTIMATUM! DOLAN WANTS TO KEEP THIS TEAM TOGETHER BUT HE DOESN'T WANT TO GO INTO THE 2ND APRON! It's Leon Rose's decision regarding what happens from here on out but Dolan will only write a check big enough to stay out of the 2nd apron.
