Seven NBA teams…one piece away?

Previewed the ‘26 NBA season by deciding what every team’s goal should be.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Mikal Bridges and Deuce McBride are both flying around and getting active.

I also don’t think this is some damning indictment of previous coaching strategy. All remains to be seen regarding what works best.

But you see it too, right?

Appreciate the kindness!! Let’s do this 👊

Scheme versatility is the name of the game.

Knicks will likely ‘over-do’ the pace, ball movement, hustle to start the year. Play themselves into shape.

Once Brown’s system settles, it will be VERY interesting to see them have the ability to change gears.

Key for playoffs.

We leave feeling awful and powerless. They leave richer.

We don’t change the channel. We watch again next week. They get richer.

Rinse and repeat. All just stats to them. If costs don’t offset their profit too much the ACLs are worth it.

The players signed up for it, right?

The turf at MetLife represents lots of issues, even outside of sports

Billionaire owners’ desire to save money makes athletes they ‘only’ pay a few million each worthwhile sacrifices

The country watches it happen year after year because those who can change it are in on it, too

Why Mikal Bridges is excited he 'finally got some rookies' with the Knicks Mikal Bridges told reporters at media day that the Knicks' young core has afforded him an opportunity he feels he hasn't experienced before.

I asked Mikal Bridges about his friendship with the younger members of the Knicks, such as Kevin McCullar Jr.

He said they’ve afforded him an opportunity in New York that he’s never truly had before.

My third, and final, write-up from Knicks media day 2026: clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york...

Josh Hart's nagging finger injury could throw wrench into Knicks' season Josh Hart revealed at the Knicks' media day that he'll play with a splint on his right ring finger next year after a setback in his recovery.

Josh Hart played hurt in the playoffs, opting for surgery on his right ring finger early in the summer.

He revealed Tuesday that he had a setback & would need a splint in 2026.

On Hart's injury, and why this year's Knicks might just be equipped to deal with it: clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york...

Karl-Anthony Towns' Stephen Curry comparison for Jalen Brunson reveals Knicks' new priorities Karl-Anthony Towns said the quiet part out loud when discussing Jalen Brunson's potential new role under Mike Brown.

Mike Brown revealed his vision for the Knicks’ offense at media day, involving using Jalen Brunson off the ball more.

Karl-Anthony Towns’ mind went right to Steph Curry’s role with GSW.

My latest for @clutchpoints.bsky.social on changes coming to the Knicks: clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york...

Liberty news: Sabrina Ionescu demands sense of urgency after loss to Mercury The Liberty didn't capitalize on their chance to bounce the Mercury at home in Game 2. Sabrina Ionescu says they need to do better on Friday.

The New York Liberty had a rough night. After tying the Mercury in the first quarter, and losing each of the remaining quarters, they fell at home.

Mercury take Game 2, 86-60, and keep their season alive.

My latest, from the Barclays Center, on Wednesday’s game: clutchpoints.com/wnba/new-yor...

Sources: How Knicks might approach Malcolm Brogdon, Landry Shamet roster crunch The Knicks signed Landry Shamet, Garrison Mathews, and Malcolm Brogdon to one-year, non-guaranteed deals. Who's going to make the roster?

The Knicks signed Malcolm Brogdon and Landry Shamet to non-guaranteed deals.

Sources tell @clutchpoints.bsky.social that the veterans had offers from other teams and that NY has received at least one offer for one of their four second-year players.

On what's next: clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york...

When @erikruby.bsky.social posted that Devin Booker was better at basketball than Jalen Brunson, I knew we had to pod about it.

- Who's the better player right now?
- What goes into determining that?
- Necessary context for both players' situations

Have also heard the extent to which Mike Brown was ‘bought in’ on Brunson and Towns as a duo was notable to the Knicks throughout the interview process.

Doesn’t mean the Knicks are married to the pairing, things change fast, but making the most of what you have maybe a factor.

Knicks are close to hiring Mike Brown as next Head Coach, sources confirm. ESPN first on report.

Brown is 454-304 in his career with the Cavaliers, Lakers, and Kings.

League sources tell me he’s already begun reaching out to potential assistants to start building his staff.

Dink Pate is a sweet athlete, 6’7 guard with clear positional size and potential. Defensive awareness/refining feel, the jumper are swing factors via film.

Spoke with a former teammate of Pate’s that raved about his experience at 19 y/o playing against ‘grown men’ in G-League.

Sources: Knicks expressed interest in John Calipari, but there's a catch As the Knicks keep searching for their next coach, sources tell ClutchPoints they contacted a college head coach the front office knows well.

A key member of the Knicks’ front office spoke with John Calipari about the team’s coaching vacancy.
