Most NBA offseasons bring some form of change to NBA rosters. Whether it is a trade, a free agent coming in, or a free agent coming out, it is a part of the cycle of life in basketball. This offseason was no different for the Knicks, and one of those players poised to depart is Cameron Payne. While it might not seem like a massive loss for the Knicks, it could cause a hit to Karl-Anthony Towns' post-up game.
Payne is an unrestricted free agent, so there is still the possibility the Knicks try to bring the veteran guard back for the 2025-26 season.
