The New York Knicks still have a two-way contract available. Which current free agents should New York consider signing between the main roster and G League?
The New York Knicks have filled the 15-man roster with promising young talent and experienced veterans. As pointed out by Holden Walter-Warner of Daily Knicks, however, the Knicks still have a roster spot available.
With the introduction of two-way contracts, the organization will have an opportunity to exceed the 15-man limit and sign another player for 2017-18.
Two-way contracts enable teams to keep a player on the main roster for a maximum of 45 days per season. The remainder of the time will be spent with the G League affiliate, which in this case would be the Westchester Knicks.
Said players would be paid $75,000 for their time in the G League, and would be eligible for up to $204,000 in additional salary for time spent in the NBA.
New York already has one of itstwo-way contract slots filled with former Vanderbilt Commodores center Luke Kornet. An opening remains, however, which has thus sparked the following question and exploration of possibilities.
