#Knicks What was the real story with Johnnie Bryant? He was installed as Thibs' top assistant by the front office in one of Leon's first moves, fans & media gas him for years assuming he's their chosen HC in waiting, leaves for CLE without explanation even tho Atkinson is there

The Knicks job predictably opens a year later (while Atkinson remains safe in CLE) and JBryant garners no interest even in a wide search. Not close to an interview. Called Dawn Staley before our presumed coach in waiting. What went wrong? @CPTheFanchise @JDSportsTalkNY @IanBegley

In a largely unprecedented financial concession to give roster flexibility to a contender, New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson has agreed on a four-year, $156.5 million extension, his agent Sam Rose of CAA tells ESPN --- $113M less guaranteed than he’s eligible to receive in one year.

I'm blown away with what the @nyknicks are accomplishing. Teamwork, discipline, coaching, and an insatiable desire to win. Also doesn't hurt having this years MVP! Go Knicks!

The #Knicks are officially dark horse title contenders.

The #Knicks and #Jazz re-engaged in "talks" this morning. Not elevated to Zanik, Ainge or Rose's level yet, was a conversation between Aller's team (unconfirmed who from the NYK strategy group) and David Fizdale of all people. Go figure. Nothing has changed I am told.
SOURCES #Knicks are determined to trade Randle before the deadline, preferably before season starts. They've explored multiple frameworks including a deal to CHA, but would have to take Hayward back. NYK seeking expiring contracts and a future (protected) 1RP to add to Utah deal

The Obi piece of this report is not accurate. True both sides remain far apart and stalemated, but Toppin has been off the table since day 1. #Knicks
Tony said .. * #Knicks & #UtahJazz haven’t spoke in weeks. NY had offer on table but not enough for Jazz * says neither side close on deal * Jazz number 1 player they want in deal is Grimes & NY doesn’t want to give him up. NY okay with giving up Toppin #JazzNation #TakeNote
Shams confirming our reporting again. #Knicks unwilling to part with Toppin and Ainge has not moved off initial asking price of 6 firsts, 3 swaps and 2 of Grimes, IQ, Obi. The trade will not happen unless Utah comes down in price, which is not Ainge's MO. His strength is patience
Shams Charania: "As of right now, sources tell me that talks between the Jazz and the Knicks around a Donovan Mitchell trade have stalled out." (via @ShamsCharania, @TheRally)
Shams confirms in article what we've reported from high level source. #Knicks and Jazz are at a stalemate and are not currently in negotiations on a Mitchell deal. Unless something changes radically with Ainge, which is not his M.O., or Dolan steps in, unlikely, trade is on pause
Sources: The Boston Celtics have offered a Jaylen Brown package to the Nets for Kevin Durant, which Brooklyn turned down and countered. Full details on a potential Celtics-Nets mega-deal to be had, latest on Donovan Mitchell and more at the Inside Pass: theathletic.com/3446562/2022…
#Knicks This is right from Hahn. The Tommy Dee report from this morning is not correct. The position the Knicks have taken is Obi will NOT be included in any trade that includes unprotected picks going back to Utah. Ainge has not budged in his price. The two sides are stalemated

#Knicks Have heard RJ and Obi have been untouchable in any Mitchell trade from the beginning fwiw. The FO's plan is to (try to) rehab Randle's value enough to trade him before the deadline to free PF for Obi. Wes made clear to Thibs his job depends on playing Obi more this season

#Knicks not expected to sign Carmelo Anthony unless one of Toppin or Randle are traded. I am told the market for Randle is slim and the front office is hesitant to include Toppin or Grimes in a Mitchell deal.
SOURCES Donovan Mitchell trade not expected to happen any time soon. So far, Ainge has been unwilling to budge from original asking price of Toppin, Grimes, Fournier, 6 firsts, 3 swaps. #Knicks unwilling to meet steep price and appear fine walking away if Utah does not blink.
