The erasure of the Phil Jackson era continued Friday morning as the Knicks released burly center Marshall Plumlee to open up cap space.
Plumlee was to make $1.3 million next season and the guarantee kicked in July 20, according to a source. The Knicks needed the room now.
The release came the morning after the Knicks, being run in the interim by Steve Mills, signed Tim Hardaway Jr. – a player Jackson couldn’t get rid of fast enough after one season – to a four-year, $71 million offer sheet.
Multiple sources told The Post there’s a chance Plumlee still will be invited to Knicks training camp on a non-guaranteed deal.
