Knicks could cut ties with Tyler Kolek to open roster spot, per writer
The New York Knicks roster is in an intriguing spot, as they're certainly good enough to win a championship, but might need a bit more. However, the Knicks currently have only one more roster spot available, so they'd have to get creative if they want to move on from someone. Advertisement When searching for who they could trade, The Daily News recently proposed the idea of them moving on from Tyler Kolek, their draft pick from the 2024 NBA draft. 'Only if they clear some cap space in a salary dump. The Knicks could trade Tyler Kolek and his $2.2M salary to a team for a future second-round pick, which would increase their room beneath the second-apron hard cap to roughly $5.7M. This would give the Knicks enough room to sign two players to minimum contracts,' they wrote. There were times throughout the year when Kolek showed that he could play in the NBA. However, it wasn't enough to suggest that the Knicks have something there. It isn't a bad idea to keep him on the roster, but if the plan is to only play him for a few minutes a night, as he played 7.2 minutes per game and appeared in 41 games, moving on from him makes some sense.

Brown has made some questionable decisions in the past with his lineups, but he's much different than Tom Thibodeau. Thibodeau didn't like to play young guys, and he certainly didn't love to expand the rotation. For that reason alone, there might be space for Kolek on this roster.

A rare night of good news and results for Giants as they rout Athletics
WEST SACRAMENTO — Everywhere you looked Saturday, fun things were going on at Sutter Health Park. Mostly for the San Francisco Giants, but the A's had a few good vibes, too. Matt Chapman returned to San Francisco's lineup after missing a month with a right hand sprain and reached base four times; Logan Webb, pitching near his hometown, tamped down an A's offense that scored 11 the night before; and Heliot Ramos, drilled by a pitch in the first inning, responded with a homer in the fifth in the Giants' 7-2 win over Sacramento. Webb didn't need to boost his chances at getting named to the National League All-Star team on Sunday, because he's pretty much a lock, with fellow starter Robbie Ray also a strong candidate. The A's made him work, especially in the sixth, when with one out, the bases loaded and a run already in, Webb got Tyler Soderstrom, the team's top RBI man, to bounce into a double play, his second of the night. Webb went 6 ⅔ innings and allowed two runs, seven hits and three walks while striking out six. His 2.62 ERA is fifth best among NL starters; at 2.68, Ray's is eighth best. Webb's 133 strikeouts are second most behind Zach Wheeler's 136 and Ray is fifth at 117. And when it comes to All-Star candidates, the bullpen has two: Randy Rodriguez, who came on in the seventh and got Jacob Wilson to pop up to end the inning and strand two, and Tyler Rogers, who worked a perfect eighth. Chapman had an infield single, a walk and scored two runs in his return, and, like Ramos, he was hit by a pitch in the first inning as the Giants-fan heavy sellout crowd of 12,298 booed. Willy Adames drove in two runs with a single that inning, and he drove in two more with another in the third. Severino, the A's top offseason acquisition, allowed five runs in four innings, just his latest disappointing outing, but there are reasons for optimism overall for a team with one of the better collections of young hitters in the game. Sacramento had four first-round picks in the lineup Saturday, including Rookie of the Year candidates Jacob Wilson and Nick Kurtz, plus Soderstrom and third baseman Max Muncy. There were two more A's first-rounders on the scene: Chapman and A's first-base coach Bobby Crosby, and it might not have been a coincidence that the Kings' top draft picks, Nique Clifford and Maxime Raynaud, threw out the first pitches Saturday. For comparison's sake, the Giants had two of their first-rounders in their order, Ramos and catcher Patrick Bailey — plus Matt Williams, coaching third base. And does it count that Soderstrom's dad, Steve, was a Giants' first-rounder? -
