The Joakim Noah era is officially over. The New York Knicks waive Joakim Noah per to official team release. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Ian Begley, the mercurial big man does not have any options on the horizon so he was unwilling to agree to a buyout. As a result, the Knicks will waive and stretch the deal — something that was expected.
Update: Sources with @IanBegley: Knicks will waive Joakim Noah today. https://t.co/5989RN1GUW
