Knicks Begin 2025 Training Camp

Knicks Begin 2025 Training Camp: Season Outlook & Offseason Moves The Knicks are back, and training camp is officially underway! We kicked off the episode by breaking down how New York is coming into the season — including the addition of Mike Brown to the staff and new faces Malcolm Brogdon, Guerschon Yabusele, and Jordan Clarkson. We shared our reactions to the offseason and discussed Vegas’ 53.5 over/under win projection for the Knicks, debating whether we’d take the over. Media Day Takeaways Media Day gave us plenty to talk about: Josh Hart’s finger update, Clarkson’s first official Knicks interview, and Mikal Bridges’ reaction to locking in a 4-year, $150M contract. We also confirmed the new starting five — Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Mitchell Robinson — and dove into what this new lineup means for the Knicks’ identity on both ends of the floor. Bench Depth & Potential Trades We couldn’t ignore the bench — Deuce McBride, Jordan Clarkson, Josh Hart, and Brogdon give the Knicks one of the deepest rotations in the league. We broke down how that depth might allow Thibs to stagger minutes and keep the pressure on opponents, plus Al raised the possibility of mid-season trades if the Knicks look one piece away. Crisis Corner: The Kawhi Situation In our signature Crisis Corner segment, we pivoted to the league-wide drama surrounding Kawhi Leonard’s contract situation and how it might impact the balance of power across the NBA — and even potential ripple effects for the Knicks if another star suddenly becomes available.
