Patrick Ewing penned a heartfelt thank-you letter to the New York Knicks organization and its supporters as he departed to become an assistant coach with the Washington Wizards. The Hall of Fame center, who recently returned to the franchise, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to reconnect with the team and its fanbase before moving on to his new role.
Josh Hart took to social media to respond to Draymond Green's criticism of Jalen Brunson's contract. Green had argued that Brunson, as the Knicks' top player, should have demanded full market value rather than taking a discount. Hart fired back, tweeting, "We got to normalize grown men not counting other peoples pockets." Shortly after, the 36-year-old Green signed a $27.7 million deal with Golden State, a contract that drew scrutiny given his declining production—ranking 155th in PER, 253rd in Win Shares, 130th in BPM, and 227th in VORP last season.
