If the Yankees get outbid on Yamamoto or fail to get him in any way, apparently their alternative preference is to trade for Dylan Cease. We discuss this topic, go into Cease's resume, and also talk about some other potential options for the starting rotation.

It was a must-win for me considering the big west coast trip coming up. The Knicks went out and defeated the Toronto Raptors last night at The Garden 136-130. Julius Randle put together a fantastic effort, bullying OG and Barnes like it was nothing. We talk about Julius' great performance and also analyze the impact the bench had. There are also some concerns regarding the starting unit's style and how the defense will look without Mitch. All that and more in the latest episode of BD4!

If you're surprised, you're outraged. If you know who this team is, you're fine. The Knicks took another tough beating to another elite team on Friday night, losing to the Celtics 133-123. Tom Thibodeau took some heat for a few things in this game: drop defense on pick-and-roll, Brunson's injury, and RJ Barrett's fourth quarter minutes. We talk about those things and much more in the latest episode of BD4!

The Knicks were embarrassed on national tv against the Bucks on Tuesday in the quarterfinals. Defensively, they had a very tough time recovering off help. Giannis & Dame have an incredibly difficult two-man game, and the Bucks have solid shooting role players to go with it. The Knick offense couldn't get their threes up like usual, and Grimes continues to be a problem there. We also touch on a very annoying, not-always-wrong-but-not-always-reasonable topic at the top of the show. Enjoy!

That was big! The Knicks picked up an important win to go 3-0 in a week before the schedule gets tough again. Last night in Toronto, the Knicks did a great job of using their mass on both ends of the floor. You got big nights from the Nova crew, but also Julius Randle, who was spectacular. The offense ran through him and he helped propel things with his gravity and ball movement from inside the arc. We also talk about a potential trade candidate and lots more. Let's get to it.
