Knicks, Joakim Noah riff persists but no buyout talks

Knicks center Joakim Noah left the team last week after a lengthy disconnect between with head coach Jeff Hornacek and his staff, but there have been no conversations between the Knicks and Noah about a potential buyout on the remaining three years and $56 million on his contract, per ESPN sources.

Sources said that Noah has no inclination to give back significant money on his contract in any buyout with New York.

Sources say the veteran center is currently working out and awaiting the Knicks to deliver word on the next steps after he left the club on Thursday for what the team called 'personal reasons.
