The Knicks have traded Travis Outlaw to the Philadelphia 76ers for Arnett Moultrie (who the Knicks released immediately after the trade). New York will also send over a 2019 2nd-round pick and the right to swap 2nd round picks in 2018. The trade makes room for Travis Wear on the Knicks’ NBA roster, and relieves New York of Outlaw’s $3 million salary while saving them another $4.7 million off of their luxury tax bill. The Sixers are expected to release Outlaw. -Tommy Rothman
Quincy Acy has built a reputation as a fierce in-game dunker.
He showed it here
Well HELLO there, Mr. Acy
Nice elbow action, too
Well, this is awesome:
Shump was gonna be in the dunk contest as a rookie, but hurt his wrist shortly before the event. The All-Star festivities will be in New York City this year, so the timing might be right for a second try…. -Tommy

You’re not on the Heat anymore, LeBron. Don’t set picks for Norris Cole.
Remember that whole Free Agency thing? That essay you wrote?
OR WERE THOSE ALL JUST EMPTY WORDS?
The Knicks have signed center DJ Mbenga to compete for a roster spot, the team announced. THe 7’0, 255 pound, 33 year-old Mbenga won 2 championships under Knicks President Phil Jackson with the Lakers. He’ll be a long shot to make the team, but he provides and extra (big) body and brings knowledge of and experience in the triangle, which is presumably what Phil is looking for. -Tommy Rothman
