The New York Knicks' latest victory afforded Josh Hart a chance to address recent comments that some found critical. While far more testy than anticipated, the

Josh Hart caused a mini controversy this month by twice declaring after defeats that the Knicks needed to drop their “egos” and “agendas,” prompting speculation that spilled into sports talk radio over who he was referencing.

The New York Knicks are moving closer towards the NBA Trade Deadline on Feb. 6, and pressure is beginning to mount for a team that has a chance to get even better. The Knicks have arguably been the most aggressive team in the trade market over the last 12 months.

Therefore, the Knicks should be active at this year’s trade deadline to enhance their depth and make their roster feel more complete. NBA legend and TNT Analyst Charles Barkley is on board with New York making a trade at the deadline to improve the team’s roster.

New York, which has diminished its asset pool over the last year in adding OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns to the roster, has to be very strategic about how it handles the deadline this season with limited flexibility and Robinson’s immediate future uncertain.

This version of Mikal Bridges looks nothing like the one Brooklyn traded away, but his revamped role could be the key to New York ascending in the East.

This past offseason, the Brooklyn Nets decided to fully embrace the rebuilding process as they traded away Mikal Bridges, arguably their best player during the 2023-24 season, to the New York Knicks in exchange for a haul of future first-round picks.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 25 points and 16 rebounds, Jalen Brunson scored eight points down the stretch and finished with 17 as the New York Knicks beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-95 on Tuesday night. OG Anunoby scored 20 points and Precious Achiuwa had 11 points off the bench as the Knicks won their second straight game.

Jalen Brunson was held to 17 points but delivered the go-ahead basket with 2:18 remaining for the visiting New York Knicks, struggled on offense for most of the fourth quarter before making enough plays down the stretch in a 99-95 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday.
