New York Knicks president Steve Mills issued a statement in light of the team's free agency news on Sunday.
The Knicks, once considered top landing spots for free agents Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, missed out on both when free agency began on Sunday. Both Durant and Irving are set to sign with the Brooklyn Nets alongside center DeAndre Jordan.
"While we understand that some Knicks fans could be disappointed with tonight's news, we continue to be upbeat and confident in our plans to rebuild the Knicks to compete for championships in the future, through both the draft and targeted free agents," Mills said in the statement.
