The Knicks completed use of their $28 million cap space by inking another role-playing big man, but this one is a local product who should bring some needed toughness.
Flushing’s 6-foot-10, 240-pound power forward/center Kyle O’Quinn was obtained as a free agent in a four-year, $16 million deal. It will go down technically as a sign-and-trade with Orlando, according to a source. The specifics of the deal, according to Yahoo, include cash and a second-round pick.
The Knicks entered the day a little more than $3 million left of 2015 salary-cap space for the upcoming season. O’Quinn will count for more than $3 million in the first year of his deal.
