The Knicks are being forced into a difficult situation. NY has decisions to make for extensions for multiple players, including Mikal Bridges & Mitchell Robinson. But here's the issue: If the Knicks give Mikal Bridges the max extension they can give him now, it will push Mitchell Robinson out of NY. However, there is one way the Knicks can keep both players but it will require a little sacrifice from Mikal Bridges part... Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

WOW. NBA Insider with SNY Ian Begley just dropped a bombshell report. One of the main reasons the Knicks are delaying the Mikal Bridges contract extension is because they are waiting for everything to be settled in Milwaukee first, specifically with Giannis Antetokounmpo. If NY signs Bridges now, then he cannot be traded for six months. But its clear, the Knicks are operating this offseason that Giannis will be available for trade, it's only a matter of time...

You already know I've got takes, insight, and some honest talk about where we're headed.

Gil's Arena Reacts To The OKC Thunder LOCKING UP Their Dynasty as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to The OKC Thunder signing Chet Holmgren to a monster rookie contract extension to lock up their Big 3 of Holmgren, Shai Gilgeous Alexander & Jalen Williams and debate what impact this will have on the reigning NBA Champions in both the long and short term. They also react to the NBA honoring Shai's legendary season by placing him on next year's cover of NBA 2k26 and debate if this signals that SGA has been anointed as the face of the NBA before highlighting how his fellow 2k Cover star Angel Reese is establishing herself as a superstar in the WNBA with her placement on the video game cover and release of her first signature shoe. Next, they react to the New York Knicks officially announcing Mike Brown as their next head coach and discuss how Brown will push the Knicks' core of Jalen Brunson, Karl Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges over the hump towards an NBA Championship before analyzing the shockwaves to the Knicks organization following the announcement that Brown will be demoting Rick Brunson from his coaching staff. They then react to Kevin Durant's analysis on the Mind the Game Podcast over the disappearance of the midrange game in today's NBA and debate if there needs to be a resurgence of efficient shots before finally whipping around the NBA to cover notable news items like the league's most hated fanbases, the NBA's newest rule change and father time finally coming for the halftime show Hall of Famer Red Panda.

Episode 400 – Free Agency Begins: Knicks Make Early Moves + Dink Pate & Coaching UpdateIn this milestone 400th episode, I break down the Knicks' opening moves in 2025 NBA Free Agency. The team wasted no time, signing Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele to bolster the bench with scoring and toughness.I also talk about the Knicks' top undrafted rookie pickup: Dink Pate, a 6'8" playmaking guard (19 years old) with serious upside if he develops the right way. Could he be a sleeper?On the coaching front, Mike Brown has emerged as the frontrunner for the Knicks' head coaching job. I explain why his defensive mindset and experience might be exactly what this team needs.And yeah—we need to talk about roster balance. If the Knicks plan to start Mitchell Robinson and Karl-Anthony Towns together in the front court, I explain why it might be time to consider trading either Mikal Bridges or OG Anunoby.

BT and Sal are intensely debating the Knicks' coaching situation, specifically concerning Jason Kidd. A caller emphasizes that the Knicks don't need Kidd's "baggage," questioning his in-game coaching abilities despite the Mavericks' past playoff run. The conversation extends to Karl-Anthony Towns's defensive deficiencies and the Knicks' overall roster imbalances, including Jalen Brunson's defensive limitations and the team's lack of consistent shooting. They critically analyze the prospect of re-signing Mikal Bridges for a large sum, weighing the sunk cost of draft picks against his actual value, and discuss the need for a new head coach who can maximize the team's offensive potential and for additional well-rounded players to better fit the puzzle pieces of the Knicks' roster.

TRADE INCOMING! The Knicks are preparing to make a massive trade involving Mikal Bridges & Mitchell Robinson. Reports indicate that Mikal Bridges contract extension coming up is the main reason why he's being mentioned in trade talks. But we have multiple insiders confirming that Bridges could be traded this offseason. Another name being mentioned by the Knicks is Mitchell Robinson possibly being traded WITH Bridges likely for salary reasons and due to Robinson's breakout performance against Boston in the playoffs...

The Pacers take care of business at home and are now heading to OKC for the NBA Finals and then we spend some time on the NBA Trade machine

In this episode of The Pacers Post Up, the Brothers of Basketball take a close look at what the Pacers must do to close out a pivotal Game 5. We break down how the Pacers have taken advantage of the Brunson–KAT shared minutes, exposing a defensive weak spot the Knicks haven't solved. Plus, we give Aaron Nesmith his flowers for his incredible two-way play — making life difficult on Brunson and flat-out outplaying Mikal Bridges this series. Finally, we hit on the keys to closing out this series on the road: start fast, limit New York's momentum early, and find a spark from the bench at MSG.

On this episode of Combo's Court, Combo is joined by Dexter Henry — host of New York's Got Game and New York Post — to break down the Knicks' Game 4 ECF loss and dissect key coaching decisions. The duo dives into Mikal Bridges' game, Josh Hart's impact (and injury concerns), and a Brunson vs. Halliburton conversation. They also explore the evolution of NBA superstars, the Knicks-Pacers chess match, and some “Would You Rather” KAT EDITION player comps. On the W front, Combo and Dexter discuss the Liberty's title chances and whether Caitlin Clark is already a household name. Plus: Juan Soto bizarre season and Anthony Edwards growth as player.

Tim Legler and Adam Mares break down Game 4 of the Pacers vs. Knicks series, highlighting Tyrese Haliburton's near-perfect performance and how his pace and decision-making controlled the game. Pascal Siakam also had a standout night, while Benedict Mathurin shined in a limited role and Aaron Nesmith continued to prove he's a key piece for Indiana. The episode wraps with a round of "Truth or Tweet" with topics like Terrence Shannon Jr's role for the Wolves, whether Pascal Siakim is UNDERrated, and why Mikal Bridges keeps fading away. FOLLOW ALL NBATwitter: http://x.com/ALLCITY_NBAInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/allcity_nba/TikTok : http://www.tiktok.com/@ALLCITY_NBA An ALLCITY Network ProductionAll music credited to Greg Kramer, check him out on Spotify! Vivid Seats is offering an exclusive discount on Playoff tickets!

Ross pointed out how it was a game of runs but Indiana never allowed New York to really get close enough to threaten the Pacers. 4:55 ... World B was disgusted with the sloppy play of the Knicks and feels they need to reduce turnovers in game 5 if they hope to extend the series.  He is also concerned about the health of Karl-Anthony Towns who hurt his knee in the 4th quarter on Tuesday night. 7:23 ... The crew previews game 5 in New York and discusses if Tom Thibodeau will dial back his rotation as he did in the first two games. 10:17 ... Ross is concerned about how Towns will be perceived by the NY fans if he doesn't play in game 5 due to his knee.  Bruce needs Mikal Bridges to show up big in game #5, but World B points out how hard Bridges has to work on defense against Haliburton. 14:38 ... Ross tees up a brief discussion on how Thibodeau expanded his rotation and how Josh Hart nudged him into doing it by offering to come off the bench and allow Mitchell Robinson to start games 3 and 4. 16:00 ... Western Conference Finals discussion as Oklahoma City won Monday's game #4 to put a stranglehold on their series against Minnesota.  Bruce felt the tone was set in the first quarter.  World B says the series is over now that OKC has a 3-1 series lead and it was impressive how they bounced back from a 42 point loss on Saturday.  Ross agrees and praises Jalen Williams of the Thunder for his great performances.  Everyone feels the series is over except for the final result.  OKC's defense is the decisive factor. 23:25 ... Anthony Edwards needs a great performance in game 5 after scoring just 13 points in game 4.  World B feels he is not holding himself accountable. 24:18 ... Ross wants to praise Minnesota's Nickiell Alexander-Walker whose great postseason performances will help him find a team willing to pay him big bucks as a free agent this off-season. 24:50 .... Shai Gilgeous-Alexander beat Nikola Jokic for the MVP Award ... the guys discuss the large margin of victory in the voting and how both players were most deserving of the award. 28:13 ... All-NBA Team discussions ... On the first team the only quibble was Donovan Mitchell making it over Anthony Edwards, Jalen Brunson, and Stephen Curry. 30:33 .... On the second team, the guys discussed LeBron James making it in spite of ESPN's Brian Windhorst not voting him on any of the three All-NBA teams. 33:36 ... On the third team, Bruce bemoaned the fact that Jaylen Brown fell two games short of the 65 game minimum to qualify for All-NBA.  Bruce felt he would have made the third team, but sacrificed an individual award in order to be healthier for the playoffs and Bruce is really annoyed at some Celtics fans who are blaming Brown for the team's earlier than expected postseason exit.  World B felt Tyler Herro should have made third team over James Harden.  Ross pointed out that if not for injury, Victor Wembanyama would also have probably made 2nd or 3rd team All-NBA and probably also won Defensive Player of the Year. 37:08 ... Smokin' Hot Take from World B ... Cade Cunningham will be first team All-NBA next season.  This bodes well for the Pistons ascending into the top 4 in the eastern conference next season. 40:10 ... Final Thoughts ... Bruce on how OKC's comeback from a 42 point loss to Minnesota last weekend reminds him of two former NBA Championship teams that had similar experiences 40 seasons ago: the 1984 Celtics and the 1985 Lakers. 41:30 .... World B on how the Knicks loss to Indiana in game one was not the biggest choke in the Knicks history.  It was 30 years ago when Reggie Miller made the Knicks the worst chokers in franchise history.  Tyrese Haliburton will clearly haunt World B's dreams for many years to come. 46:16  ... Ross on how all the off-season transactions will be very exciting this year.  And from that he says goodbye and "see you next week." TRT 46:57              

The Knicks are on life support. In this episode, we break down Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals as the Indiana Pacers take a commanding 3–1 series lead with a 130–121 win at home. Tyrese Haliburton's triple-double masterclass overwhelmed New York, while Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns did their best to keep the Knicks afloat. We discuss what went wrong for the Knicks, Stephen A. Smith's scathing criticism of Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges, and what New York needs to fix before a do-or-die Game 5 at MSG. Is this the end of the Knicks' playoff run—or is a miracle comeback brewing?Check out this quality episode of the Productive Conversations Podcast, on all Podcasting Platforms and YouTube.

Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Mikal Bridges are actually on the older side of players in the NBA that win their first title

Boomer feels the Knicks are still disrespected despite being series favorites and second favorites for the championship. Gio believes the animosity is directed at the fan base, not players like Jalen Brunson or Mikal Bridges. Jerry provided an update, starting with Juan Soto's explanation for his slow hustle on a ball hit off the Green Monster. The "All The Smoke" podcast reportedly dislikes the Knicks due to their fans, though Brian Windhorst on the Dan Patrick show highlighted the Knicks reaching the finals, especially the Brunson storyline, as compelling. Shaq recalled David Stearns asking his preferred draft location, choosing Orlando for its warm climate. In a surprising twist, the "All The Smoke" podcast later praised the Knicks' organ player.

Hour 1 The Mets lost to Boston, with much of the focus on Juan Soto's lack of hustle after hitting a single. Rumors suggest Soto is unhappy with the Mets, preferring the Yankees, and some in the organization are concerned. Pete Alonso also had a poor throwing error. Jerry's update covered the Mets' loss and Carlos Mendoza's discussion of hitting with runners in scoring position. Soto defended his effort when questioned about his slow start out of the box. Tyrese Haliburton expressed excitement about playing at MSG, despite an incident where Knicks fans threw trash at a Pacers fan, prompting Haliburton to invite the fan to Indiana for Game 4. Finally, the NFL is reportedly allowing players to participate in Olympic flag football in 2028. Hour 2 Boomer feels the Knicks are still disrespected despite being series favorites and second favorites for the championship. Gio believes the animosity is directed at the fan base, not players like Jalen Brunson or Mikal Bridges. Jerry provided an update, starting with Juan Soto's explanation for his slow hustle on a ball hit off the Green Monster. The "All The Smoke" podcast reportedly dislikes the Knicks due to their fans, though Brian Windhorst on the Dan Patrick show highlighted the Knicks reaching the finals, especially the Brunson storyline, as compelling. Shaq recalled David Stearns asking his preferred draft location, choosing Orlando for its warm climate. In a surprising twist, the "All The Smoke" podcast later praised the Knicks' organ player. Hour 3 Concerns are reportedly growing within the Mets organization about Juan Soto's unhappiness, which seemed evident in his performance against the Yankees. Calls poured in discussing Soto's struggles and attitude. Boomer also contrasted Caitlyn Clark as a "needle mover" with Soto as a "negative needle mover." Jerry then played audio of Pete Alonso's errant throw to Senga, and Frank The Tank had another outburst after the Mets' loss. The segment concluded with a cameraman from the Discovery Channel's "Storm Chasers," sparking Gio's desire to witness a tornado. Hour 4 Discussion centered on Juan Soto's "perks" with the Mets, leading to a tangent about the availability and use of "nudie magazines" at airports and in the WFAN bathroom. Jerry's final update included sounds of the Mets' loss in Boston, highlighting Soto's single after misjudging a ball off the Green Monster. Jerry also admitted Boomer's anti-Nets stance makes him root against the Knicks. Tyrese Haliburton expressed excitement for the MSG crowd. The "Moment of The Day" revisited the "nudie magazine" in the WFAN bathroom topic. The segment concluded with discussions about dinner plans and the guest list for the "Kickoff to Summer" show.

Hour 1 The Knicks won Game 2 on the road with another 20-point comeback as Celtics' shooting went cold, a "double punch" according to Gio. Knicks are undefeated on the road in the playoffs but have home losses heading back to MSG. Jerry's update included Kevin Harlan's call, Josh Hart on doing "little things," Mitchell Robinson feeling like a threat, and Charles Barkley wanting a night game for the Knicks on Saturday. We also heard MSG fan chants about Boston. Elsewhere, the Thunder scored 149 to even their series with the Nuggets, the Yankees won in the 10th after being no-hit into the seventh, and Juan Soto hit two homers in the Mets' win. Gio recounted his near miss at playing in the Creators Classic. The hour ended with Knicks fan calls. Hour 2 The Knicks repeated their Game 1 road win in Boston, coming back from 20 down as the Celtics' shooting faltered late. Despite the stat favoring teams up 2-0 on the road, Boomer is hesitant. Mikal Bridges and Jalen Brunson are playing well. Gio praised Karl-Anthony Towns' early performance. A 72-year-old caller hopes for another Knicks championship. Boomer shared an Instagram tip for checking hotel bedbugs, contrasting with Gio's towel-less, "sketchy" hotel stay due to budget constraints. Jerry's update featured Paul Pierce's confident prediction of a Celtics win (and subsequent barefoot robe walk promise), Celtics radio's reaction to a Bridges steal, and Karl-Anthony Towns on team unity. The Yankees beat the Padres with a Trent Grisham homer. The hour ended with Boomer and C-Lo's Rangers podcast, noting C-Lo's smaller picture. Hour 3 The Knicks secured another 20-point comeback win in Boston, mirroring Game 1. Callers discussed the Celtics potentially intentionally fouling Mitchell Robinson and the perspective of only watching the fourth quarter (Boomer disagreed with this approach). Another caller cautioned against premature celebration due to the Knicks' home losses. Jerry's update featured Shaq praising their "old school" style, and a Boston show likened the Knicks to "cockroaches" positively. The Yankees beat the Padres after Bellinger's seventh-inning homer, with Devin Williams' strong tenth. The Mets won in Arizona, highlighted by Jeff McNeil's triple and Juan Soto's two home runs. The hour concluded with enthusiastic Knicks callers, one anticipating a 3-0 lead and another questioning the sustainability of their comeback wins. Hour 4 Former Islander Josh Bailey called in to clarify Boomer's janitor comment from yesterday. The show then focused on Knicks callers, one noting the sportsbooks still have even odds for the Celtics to win the series. Jerry's final update included highlights of the Knicks' Boston win (with Kevin Harlan), the Yankees' sac-fly victory over the Padres, and Juan Soto's two homers in the Mets' Arizona win. The Moment of the Day featured Boomer discussing golf with John McEnroe (and being mocked). The hour concluded with a preview of Saturday afternoon's Game 3 at the Garden.

On Tue.'s No Dunks, the guys are back to discuss — with tired, raspy voices — Aaron Gordon splashing the game-winning 3 to help the Nuggets stun the Thunder, Nikola Jokic's bully ball, Coach Daigneault's fouling decision backfiring, the Knicks rallying from 20 down to beat the Celtics, Tatum and Brown settling for too many threes, Mikal Bridges' clutch steal, and Kristaps Porzingis' illness. That, plus we preview and predict the Wolves-Warriors, touch on the Pacers outgunning the Cavs in Game 1, and more. ▶️ Join our Playback room: https://www.playback.tv/nodunks

It's Tuesday's with Tony Allen presented by ESCO. TA joins the show on Zoom to talk about the Knicks Game 1 win over the Celtics, why he thinks Boston is still in a good spot, Mikal Bridges performance from the Knicks, and more. Then they go into the Nuggets Game 1 win over Oklahoma City, Jokic being unguardable, Chet missing the late game free throws, why they started fouling up 3, Aaron Gordon's improvement, and they'll talk the Warriors/T'Wolves series starting tonight (8:26). The rest of the show, we'll talk about tonight's Pacers/Cavs Game 2 and Game 1 of Warriors/T'Wolves, which road team has the best chance of winning, the injuries mounting up for the Cavs, Draymond Green needing to avoid a suspension and more (1:18:11)

(00:00) DID YOU KNOW: Does Gary Tanguay have a flair for the theatrical? Yes, he does — which opens the door to Fred making fun of James Corden. (22:17) WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT: Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby each scored 29 points, and Mikal Bridges sealed the win with a last-second steal from Jaylen Brown as the Knicks stunned the Celtics 108-105 in Game 1 on Monday night.
