I have already profiled a number of potential free agent signings for the Knicks that are likely fits for reasons of price and contract length (players will take minimum and have no leverage to require longer contracts). These free agents (Thomas, Brown, Ratliff...etc.) are the most likely to end up on the Knicks roster this year considering the various concerns of the New York front office.
However, there are other free agents out there that are not highly likely to take the pay/contract length cuts required to wear orange and blue, yet are still feasible targets. In looking for a center, there are 5 players that directly fit into this non-pipe dream/not sure thing category. I list them here in order of personal preference:
1. Jeff Foster
2. Erick Dampier
3. Joel Przybilla
4. Dan Gadzuric
5. Jason Collins
Given that the Knicks also have a big need for a back-up point guard, we need to also look at the top 5 free agent point guards that may be a little bit of a reach, but not out the question for the Knicks. It must be mentioned that this class of guards is painfully bad. Many of them on this list are actually less preferable to just resigning Anthony Carter. However, I have listed them in order of personal preference:
1. T.J. Ford
2. Mike Bibby
3. Carlos Arroyo
4. Sebastian Telfair
5. Earl Watson
I will be profiling each of these players as we slowly head to the December 9th, training camp start date.
