I hope that Zach understands the power and freedom of Substack and launches an NBA newsletter. I’m a basketball nut and obviously even crazier when it comes to the Knicks, and I subscribe to four NBA Substack newsletters and if Zach launches a newsletter that would be my fifth NBA-related paid Substack letter. I bet many of us would agree and make a Substack lucrative enough for Zach to continue covering the NBA but also having total editorial freedom.

And best wishes to DRose. I loved watching him on the Knicks (second go-around) as he was exciting to watch even in his diminished state and also a very important team leader. When I heard the news, the first thing I thought was “I hope Thibs hires him to be our PG coach,” although DRose made it pretty clear he wanted to step away from the NBA.

And thank you Ray for all the “Knick you Knew” columns. When Jonathan first introduced these, I was not sure I was thrilled to read about long ago players but pretty quickly, that column became of my editorial favorites. I hope you run them again next season Ray and Jonathan!

Over the past handful of years, the only NBA writers I've read consistently are Zach Lowe and you. I've followed Zach since the Grantland days and learned so much about basketball reading his articles and listening to his podcast. His work made me a smarter fan.

One of my favorite Zach Lowe columns was the one he wrote after Kobe's death, when he shared the story about how Kobe reached out to him so they could watch basketball and "discuss the future of media coverage." That tells you everything you need to know about Zach. Kobe Bryant was like, "Yeah, this guy gets it. I need to talk to him."

Today, I'm even more appreciative for KFS. I'm a smarter fan because of the work you guys have done too. I've learned so much about the salary cap and roster construction through Cap or No Cap. You guys have helped me stay as grounded emotionally as possible with an eye on the bigger picture. You are the Zach Lowe of the Knicks. Thanks for all you guys do.
