Things were going okay until today. Development killing, floor shrinking, assist hoarding point guard Elfrid Payton is back! Hooray!

We review the Obi Toppin pick at No. 8, talk a little more about the Immanuel Quickley selection at No. 25, discuss Julius Randle's future some more, hit on the Myles Powell, Ed Davis, and Alec Burks signings, and then get into a lot free-agent talk, as Leon Rose now moves forward from Wednesday night.

The Knicks decided to draft Obi Toppin with the No. 8 and make some trades later on in the draft. I give my opinion on this controversial night for New York and show my LIVE reaction to it as well!

In our latest episode we go over some final pre-draft hearsay, covering the Russell Westbrook situation, the developing Gordon Hayward story, and more. As for the draft itself, the Knicks have the No. 8 on Wednesday as well as the 27th regarding round one. We talk Obi Toppin, Killian Hayes, and Kira Lewis Jr. a bit more.

Gary Sánchez has went from a rising star to a sinking ship for the Yankees. The soon-to-be 28-year old catcher may just be out of lifelines in New York, which is why he's rumored to be dealt this offseason. We've discussed a potential J.T. Realmuto signing in previous shows, but what about taking a flyer on veteran Yadier Molina, which could be a bit more realistic? We also get into the MVP voting from Thursday night as well.

The Yankees sent out a qualifying offer to DJ LeMahieu 10 days ago but it got rejected on Wednesday. If you have brains you shouldn't panic. Later I touch on potential free-agent signings like Charlie Morton, Andrelton Simmons, and of course, Michael Brantley.

With the 2020 NBA Draft next Wednesday on November 18th, teams are starting to make their final preparations. The Knicks, who have three draft picks this year, have been linked with a number of names but it's the player they take at No. 8 that could define their future. Do they go for fit, talent, both, or throw some kind of curveball with a trade?

It's officially the offseason. With an unpredictable market, it's going to be interesting to see where players like Trevor Bauer, Francisco Lindor, DJ LeMahieu, Michael Brantley and many more end up. The Yankees of course, are suiters for any big name who hits the market. Will they strike heavy again this winter like the last? Maybe they even get rid of some of their own?

Back in the early summer, it was reported that the Knicks were interested in Detroit Pistons big Christian Wood. Those rumors have resurfaced of late. Leon Rose has also been reportedly interested in Michael Kidd-Gilchrist as well.

Promising youngster Mitchell Robinson is heading into his third season but will also be playing under his third head coach. Meanwhile, the Knicks have been intrigued by many draft prospects over the last several months; RJ Hampton being one of the first to interest them. UNC's Cole Anthony on the other hand, has not impressed the Knicks much at all. In this episode I discuss all of the above.
