Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 21 ratings
  • Begs is THE best but…

    Ian’s the absolute best for inside Knicks info but his guests are not (CP, Macri and James Edwards in particular)

    Too many content creators who just push their OWN opinions …

    He’d be better alone.

    KFS is dragging you down Ian

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mikal Bridges exception, Knicks last roster spots & cap space analysis with Keith Smith
Q: If they did extend Mitchell Robinson, would that put them into the second apron?
Yes, if they extend him at a reasonable number, they'll be a second apron team unless they manage their contracts differently.
Mikal Bridges exception, Knicks last roster spots & cap space analysis with Keith Smith
Q: Is there a scenario where, let's say, it keeps them out of, let's say, the second apron, thereby allowing them to have different tools in the tool chest to go after free agents?
More so the trade side, I think, is where that will really matter. If they stay out of the second apron, it will give them flexibility for trades without aggregating contracts.
Ian Begley shares updates on Ben Simmons, Landry Shamet, and interviews Knicks guard Tyler Kolek
Q: With the timelines here, do you think as NBA training camps approach, do some of these veterans start to move a little bit?
Ian believes the moves will likely happen in September after the holiday weekend since there isn't a rush on decisions right now.
Ian Begley shares updates on Ben Simmons, Landry Shamet, and interviews Knicks guard Tyler Kolek
Q: Hey Ian, it's been reported that the Knicks are the favorites for Ben Simmons. Are you taking the Knicks or the field, Boston, Sacramento, etc. to sign Ben Simmons?
Ian believes that logic tells him to take the field due to multiple variables but acknowledges real interest from both the Knicks and Simmons.
Ian Begley shares latest on Mike Brown, Knicks coaching staff, possible starting lineups
Q: Shaun, how do you want Mike Brown to be different than Tom Thibodeau?
