What happened: Zach Lowe convened Fred Katz as Katz returns to full-time Knicks coverage alongside JLEdwardsIII at The Athletic. The discussion spans final preseason predictions and trade candidates, with additional guests joining briefly.

Why it matters: New York kept James Wiseman and Bruce Brown for opening night without trading Tyler Kolek. Opening-week rotations will test that math against second-apron limits.

What to watch: Tip-off this week reveals the rotation order behind the guaranteed deals. Preseason predictions give way to standings once games count.
