After declining his option in order to build out their roster with as much flexibility as possible, it looks like the Knicks are bringing Taj Gibson back to the team.
New York has struggled to find rest for Julius Randle and installing someone who knows very specifically what will be required of him like Gibson should be able to help bolster the rotation. Obviously Taj won’t be coming to New York to supplant Randle, Mitchell Robinson or Nerlens Noel but to be insurance for them due to fatigue, injury or foul trouble.
