Why the New York Knicks should keep Elfrid Payton.
Elfrid Payton should be the starting point for the New York Knicks next season. His presence in the lineup must be a top priority for Leon Rose, as he decides whether to waive the 26-year-old guard before his $8 million salary becomes guaranteed next season. Elfrid’s skillset, leadership and character make him a perfect fit to lead a young team.
