Marc Berman of the New York Post reports that the Knicks will make one last attempt to sign Michael Doleac. With few more free agent options remaining, Knicks GM Scott Layden will try to break the impasse with Doleac's agent, Glen Schwartzman, when they resume contract negotiations. Talks heated up last week but broke down well short of a deal.

Layden wants this cleared up one way or another by this week as he heads to the Hamptons on vacation Monday, with or without Doleac in the fold. The Knicks are looking for a three-year deal and it is believed Doleac's agent is trying to squeeze out a fourth year. The Knicks were prepared to offer Doleac a three-year deal starting at about $2.2M, bringing the total to $7.5M.

If the Doleac signing crashes, one intriguing reserve center who just became a free agent is 7-footer Mikki Moore, whose contract was bought out by Detroit Monday and is available for the minimum $699,000.
