The Knicks have made it clear what their priority is for their last signing
According to sources reported to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, the franchise is focusing its efforts on acquiring a center to fill the last available spot on its roster
New York Knicks is clear about its main need to complete the roster for the upcoming NBA season. According to sources reported to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, the franchise is focusing its efforts on adding a center to fill the last available spot.
The search for a big man comes after the recent moves made by New York to adjust its roster ahead of training camp. Among them is the arrival of Tony Bradley, who signed with the Knicks after the team parted ways with John Konchar.
Bradley will occupy one of the spots in training camp and compete for a place on the team alongside Drew Eubanks and James Wiseman. However, his addition does not change the Knicks' intention to continue searching for another interior player to complete the roster.
The veteran center has arrived after a series of moves in which New York has been reducing and modifying its group of players. Konchar and N'Faly Dante were waived after signing non-guaranteed contracts for the preseason.
| Move | Situation |
|---|---|
| Tony Bradley | Signs a contract for camp |
| John Konchar | Waived |
| N'Faly Dante | Waived |
| Drew Eubanks | In camp |
| James Wiseman | In camp |
| Jaden Akins | Signs a two-way contract |
| Toby Okani | Signed and cut immediately |
With Bradley already incorporated, the Knicks have three centers in camp along with Eubanks and Wiseman. Still, the franchise's priority is to find another option for that position before finalizing the roster.
The Knicks continue adjusting their roster
The moves of recent days have also affected other positions. New York signed Jaden Akins to a two-way contract after having signed and cut him twice previously during this offseason.
The franchise also made a peculiar move with Toby Okani. The Knicks signed him and cut him immediately to meet the minimum roster requirements while completing the rest of the moves.
The intention is for Okani to eventually join the Westchester Knicks to play in the upcoming G League season.
Meanwhile, New York's main focus is on the frontcourt. The franchise is looking for a center to fill the last available spot and thus complete a group that has already undergone several changes before the start of training camp.
Bradley’s arrival adds another piece for that position, but the Knicks do not appear to have closed their search yet. With Eubanks, Wiseman, and now Bradley in camp, New York continues to work to find the player who will definitively complete its roster.
