Joakim Noah is a free agent and continues to workout in hopes of signing an NBA deal.

“I’m staying ready and focused,” said Noah, who’s working out “a couple of times” a day. “[Just] waiting if something good comes along.”

Noah and the New York Knicks agreed to a buyout using the stretch provision.

A billboard recruiting Kevin Durant to the New York Knicks has gone up near Madison Square Garden.

Durant will be a free agent in 2019 and has been linked with the Knicks.

"Can you make NY sports great again?" posted to Durant's Instagram handle, @easymoneysniper.

Durant is holding the Larry O'Brien Trophy, something the Knicks last won in 1973. 

"My business partner and I are lifelong Knick fans, and we are tired of all the losing, so we decided to do our part to in helping our team recruit the best players the NBA has to offer, because that's what New York sports deserves," said Benjamin Pokh, president of the marketing company.

Kyrie Irving said he strongly considered the New York Knicks as a potential free agent destination before he announced his intention to re-sign with the Boston Celtics.

"I mean, every team was under consideration, but obviously New York held a special place for me," Irving said after the Celtics' 103-101 win over the Knicks on Saturday night. "Just being from (New) Jersey and, obviously, envisioning myself as a free agent and ultimately taking a meeting and playing for (Knicks head coach David Fizdale) and a great young core that they have here. Thinking about playing with (Kristaps Porzingis). That was a big thing before I made my decision just to ... plan on re-signing back with Boston. But yeah of course New York was a strong consideration."

Irving has a player option for 2019-20, the final season of his five-year, $94 million contract. Irving is expected to re-sign with the Celtics in 2019.

"I think if you were in my position, I think it would be an easy decision," Irving said of his decision to commit to the Celtics. "Thinking about who we have (in Boston) and the future and what we're set up for. For me, it was where I am in age and how I envision my career going. And kind of the lineage of guys that have come before me in the Boston Celtics is something I wanted to be a part of. Obviously, my dad and my mom met in Boston, so I had a lot of history there, as well. Obviously, being from New Jersey, (there's) history there. But Boston, there's nothing like it."

The New York Knicks are attempting to trade Courtney Lee.

Lee is owed $12.7 million for the 19-20 season, which the Knicks would like to remove from their books to maximize their cap space.

New York would prefer not to attach a second round pick to Lee in order to unload him.

Lee could provide depth on the wing for a playoff team.

The New York Knicks are not expected to sign Kristaps Porzingis to a contract extension before today's deadline.

Porzingis will be a restricted free agent next offseason.

The Knicks will have an additional $10 million in cap space in 2019 with Porzingis not signing an extension. The Knicks will still need to unload some additional salary to have enough to sign a player to a max contract.

The New York Knicks will waive Joakim Noah on Saturday.

Noah has yet to receive traction on an open roster spot elsewhere in the NBA and has been resistant to leaving money on the table.

The Knicks will waive and stretch the remaining $38 million on Noah's contract.

The possibility of Kevin Durant leaving the Golden State Warriors in 2019 to sign with the New York Knicks has gained momentum.

"The New York Knicks have a very good shot at luring KD away from the Bay Area," said Chris Haynes on Fox Sports 1. "The reason I say that is his business partner, Rich Kleiman, is based in New York, huge New York Knicks fan. Their business is located and based in New York. KD’s dad is a big New York Knicks fan. The same allure that LeBron (James) had towards the Los Angeles Lakers – just the building, the culture – is the same thing, the same way, I know, that KD feels about the Knicks."

The Knicks project to have cap space to sign Durant, who didn't meet with them in 2016.

"Golden State does have the edge obviously," said Haynes.

The New York Knicks have agreed to sign Billy Garrett to an Exhibit 10 deal.

Garrett played for the Knicks during Summer League and for the Westchester Knicks last season.

Garrett went undrafted in 2017 out of DePaul.

The New York Knicks have signed John Jenkins.

It is believed the Knicks signed Jenkins to an Exhibit 10 contract.

Jenkins last played in the NBA in 16-17 with the Phoenix Suns.
