What a friend the Nets have in Kyrie Irving

What a friend the Nets have in Kyrie Irving

James Kratch

Kyrie Irving is a true profile in courage. The Nets should feel blessed by the point guard’s decision to opt in for next season. So fortunate that Irving kicked the tires on sign-and-trade options, but then decided to stay put. Because there were multiple scenarios on the table, according to his favorite insider. If he … Continued

Kyrie Irving blinks in Nets standoff, opts in for 2022-23 season

James Kratch

The Nets called Kyrie Irving’s bluff. And it worked. The mercurial point guard has exercised his player option for the 2022-23 season, seemingly saving Brooklyn’s grand superteam experiment for at least the time being. Irving exercised the option Monday night, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania — who has been a frequent recipient of leaks … Continued

Yankees just got valuable wake-up call from Astros

James Kratch

There is no crisis. Aaron Judge’s heroics made sure of that. While it was unpleasant at times — specifically for 16 1/3 consecutive innings spanning from Friday night to Sunday afternoon — the Yankees got the split with the Astros. No ground gained. But none lost either. The best team in baseball — no, Judge … Continued

Knicks’ Leon Rose offers word salad statement about NBA Draft moves

James Kratch

Knicks president Leon Rose has decided to grace the team’s fanbase with an explanation for his series of moves during Thursday’s NBA Draft. And by explanation, we mean the perpetually unaccountable Rose released a statement without any substance. Last night, we made three trades involving draft picks, which resulted in increased financial flexibility and additional draft capital … Continued

The Knicks are betting big on Jalen Brunson

Danny Small

Following the New York Knicks on draft night was a mind-numbing exercise. They were trading picks left and right and when it was all said and done, they didn’t even make a first-round pick. Instead, they acquired three first-round picks and ~$15-$18 million in salary-cap space in exchange for the 11th pick (Ousmane Dieng), Kemba … Continued

Knicks send Kemba Walker, Jalen Duren to Detroit in 3-team swap

Danny Small

Trying to follow what’s going on in the NBA draft will make your head spin. The Knicks have already drafted Ousmane Dieng and immediately sent him packing. Now, they are acquiring Jalen Duren from the Hornets (who took him 13th overall) and immediately sending him to the Detroit Pistons with Kemba Walker. Knicks acquired Jalen … Continued

Why Mets’ quick series at Astros is so critical

Alex Horowitz

The last time the Mets played the Astros in Houston, the teams could not have been farther apart. It was September 2017. Terry Collins was in his final weeks as manager while the Mets limped to a 70-92 finish. And the Astros were about to win their first World Series title — albeit by dubious … Continued
