The Knicks’ Ricky Ledo experiment is over. And the Thanasis Antetokounmpo saga should soon pick up steam.
Ledo, the 23-year-old shooting guard from Providence, was waived two days before his contract became partially guaranteed with a $100,000 payout. Ledo had a subpar summer league and people close to him were surprised at his limited minutes in Las Vegas (17 per game).
Sources have indicated a great divide in the Knicks organization over the baggage-laden Ledo, with the front office more in love than the coaching staff with his skills. Knicks coach Derek Fisher has made it clear talent isn’t the most important determinant.
