The New York Knicks filled out their training camp roster last week, signing Nigel Hayes, Xavier Rathan-Mayes and Jamel Artis to partially-guaranteed deals. ESPN’s Bobby Marks recently broke down a critical detail in each contract, one that might ensure even the players who don’t make the roster will end up playing for the Knicks in Westchester.
The contract for the Knicks Nigel Hayes has $50K protection. The Hayes money will hit NYK cap if waived and doesn't have an Exhibit 10.
