The Knicks have finally found their point guard by bringing Kemba Walker home.
A league source confirmed that Walker is finalizing a buyout with the Oklahoma City Thunder and that the Rice High School product will then sign on with the Knicks to provide the key piece to their offseason buildup. The deal was first reported by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Bronx native, who was dealt from the Boston Cetlics to the Thunder after the season ended in a cap-clearing move, is 31 and has struggled with health issues.
