Knicks mercifully end their Joakim Noah limbo with release
Joakim NoahThe Knicks officially released center Joakim Noah on Saturday and officially rid themselves of their worst signing in NBA history in a stretch provision.
Sources indicated the delay was trying to get Noah to give up more money in a buyout since he can sign with another team for the veteran’s minimum. It’s been reported for weeks Noah would not be on the 15-man roster.
The Knicks had to release Noah by Monday to get down to the maximum 15 players. Noah, who had $38 million left on his contract, had been reluctant to give up much of the remaining two years of his pact — if any money at all.
