The Knicks are expected to complete a move this week to bring on board one of Tom Thibodeau’s favorite pupils — Taj Gibson.
According to an NBA source, the two sides were in the process of finalizing an agreement to sign Gibson, who was cut loose when the team did not pick up the second year of his contract in November. To make room for Gibson, who started 56 games last season for the Knicks, the team will waive Omari Spellman.
