NBA free agency is officially here, and the New York Knicks are among the teams making moves early. They've already locked up Joakim Noah and likely aren't done yet. The rumor mill is buzzing with meetings and potential signs, and we're here to get you caught up on what's happened so far. Here are all the latest Knicks rumors and news you need to know.
Knicks After Dwyane Wade?
If Wade actually leaves the Miami Heat, the New York Knicks are one of the teams he could end playing for.
Dwyane Wade is in contract talks with the Knicks & Bucks and could schedule meetings next week, sources told ESPN.

His friendship with Carmelo Anthony (a fellow Banana Boat member) is likely a reason for his reported interest. However, the Knicks might not have enough money to afford Wade, especially after giving Noah $72 million. Wade reportedly wants $20 million or more.
Knicks Talking Contract With Eric Gordon?
The Knicks are in need of SG help (hence the interest in Wade), and they are reportedly looking hard at Eric Gordon.
Sources: Free agent guard Eric Gordon has emerged as Knicks' top perimeter target. Sides starting to discuss parameters of a possible deal.

Gordon is a much more likely target than Wade. A deal has yet to be struck, but there's plenty of time left in free agency. Gordon hasn't lived up to expectations because of injuries, but he's a solid scorer when on the court.
Interest In Courtney Lee?
Gordon might be the Knicks' top target, but they're also interested in Courtney Lee.
Sources: In addition to the Knicks and Kings, Courtney Lee has received interest from the Nets, Wolves and Hawks (if Kent Bazemore leaves).

Like Gordon, Lee would provide a much needed scoring boost at SG. However, the Grizzlies are also making a push for Lee now.
