With approximately $70 million in cap space to start free agency, the New York Knicks had the room to sign two max free agents. This did not happen, but the team still added seven players and two draft picks. Besides RJ Barrett and Ignas Brazdeikis, no one received a formal press-conference introduction.
During Monday’s Media Day, president Steve Mills and general manager Scott Perry opened the event by addressing the offseason.
Mills focused on the players signed and not who went elsewhere. He said there were “six guys that were important to us that we were lined up to meet with,” which signaled out the acquired players in free agency like Julius Randle and Marcus Morris.
