In a long story on Monday, ESPN’s Ian Begley reported that the Knicks would be looking for two-way players in free agency and cited two examples: P.J. Tucker and Dante Cunningham.
According to Begley, the Knicks were pleased with the contribution of Courtney Lee and want players that fit his mold. This report would also jive with their apparent interest in Jae Crowder. That is, if they can figure out a way to get the Celtics to take Carmelo Anthony.
In one respect, Phil Jackson should be applauded for looking for the right kind of help. The Knicks have had very few players that could be viewed as positives on both ends of the floor over the past 10 years.
