Description: The inevitable finally happens as the Rangers move on from Artemi Panarin, and emotions run hot in the studio. Then the focus shifts to the Knicks, who make a quiet but calculated deadline move, dumping salary and adding Delon Terry with limited short term expectations. What does it really mean for the playoff rotation? From there, the conversation widens to the NBA trade deadline chaos. The Knicks stay disciplined, the Milwaukee Bucks listen but likely hold Giannis Antetokounmpo until the offseason, and contenders like the Golden State Warriors pivot after swinging and missing. Plus, reaction to James Harden landing in Cleveland and why it does not change the Knicks’ postseason outlook. Calls from Knicks fans wrap it up, including buy-in debates, playoff trust issues with Karl-Anthony Towns, and why this deadline may be remembered more for what did not happen than what did.
