Moe Harkless spent most of the season preparing for what could be a title run with the Los Angeles Clippers. And when he was sent to the Knicks as part of the trade for Marcus Morris, the thought was raised almost immediately that he would be a candidate for a buyout.
Harkless, a Queens native who played his college ball at St. John’s, was coming home, but he is on an expiring contract and with the Knicks playing out the string, he seemed better suited to get a chance for a postseason run.
