According to ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the New York Knicks signed Argentinian point guard Luca Vidoza from the Spanish ACB League.
The deal is expected to be for four years with a value of $13.6 million. However, the contract will only be guaranteed for one year, giving New York some flexibility in evaluating his talent at the NBA level.
It’s a shrewd move for New York as they’ve essentially jumped the line to get an early start in the free-agent market before the summer. The deal could end up giving the Knicks some cover as they have three-point guards (Derrick Rose, Frank Ntilikina, and Elfrid Payton) who will be free agents after this season.
