The New York Knicks have 15 players signed to guaranteed contracts. Thus, it stands to reason that Ron Baker, Chasson Randle, and J.P. Tokoto have been brought to training camp in order to compete for a D-League roster spot.
Don’t be so quick to dismiss the possibility of the Knicks eating salary and cutting a player on a guaranteed contract.
New York signed Lou Amundson, Carmelo Anthony, Willy Hernangomez, Justin Holiday, Brandon Jennings, Mindaugas Kuzminskas, Courtney Lee, Maurice Ndour, Joakim Noah, Kyle O’Quinn, Marshall Plumlee, Kristaps Porzingis, Derrick Rose, Lance Thomas, and Sasha Vujacic to guaranteed contracts.
