Mike Lupica: Leon Rose, Knicks need to take a big swing on Zion Williamson if he becomes available

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:27:09 GMT

Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, who knows stuff, says that the Pelicans never made Zion Williamson available in the run-up to the NBA Draft, as part of a possible deal for Scoot Henderson or anybody else. But that doesn’t mean that they won’t make Williamson, who sometimes seems to carry more baggage than his actual weight, available at some point this summer.If they do, the Knicks have to think about taking a big swing on Williamson, with all the big risk that goes with a play like that. Leon Rose — he runs the Knicks even if you never see him or hear from him — absolutely has to consider taking a chance here, or start wondering how long the team he has brought back to respectability will remain stuck in the middle.We all know how low the bar was set for Rose at James L. Dolan’s Madison Square Garden. But the object of the game isn’t supposed to be respectability. It’s supposed to be the Knicks winning their first championship in half-a-century...

Packages from China are surging into the United States. Some say $800 duty-free limit was a mistake

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:27:09 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Conservatives anxious to counter America’s leading economic adversary have set their sights on a top trade priority for labor unions and progressives: cracking down on the deluge of duty-free packages coming in from China. The changing political dynamic could have major ramifications for e-commerce businesses and consumers importing products from China valued at less than $800. It also could add to the growing tensions between the countries.Under current U.S. law, most imports valued at less than $800 enter duty-free into the United States as long as they are packaged and addressed to individual buyers. It’s referred to as the de minimis rule. Efforts to lower the threshold amount or exclude certain countries altogether from duty-free treatment are set to become a major trade fight in this Congress.“De minimis has become a proxy for all sorts of anxieties as it relates to China and other trade-related challenges,” said John Drake, a vice president at th...
