Overview
- Reports from SNY’s Ian Begley on September 3 say the Knicks are actively considering Drew Eubanks and John Konchar to fill one of their remaining standard roster spots.
- New York currently has two open standard spots and all three two-way slots available as it finalizes the roster ahead of training camp on September 29.
- Drew Eubanks is being viewed as a low-usage center who would compete for a third-center role after undergoing left-thumb UCL surgery in March and would likely receive a non-guaranteed, veteran-minimum deal.
- John Konchar cleared waivers after being waived by Minnesota, offers defensive versatility, strong rebounding for a wing and playmaking, and has a lower veteran-minimum salary that makes him more cap-feasible.
- Owner James Dolan’s public stance on staying below the second tax apron means the Knicks likely can afford only one veteran-minimum signing now, which will push the decision to the preseason evaluation window and shape how the team preserves midseason flexibility.
