Vin Baker is expected to clear waivers today and could sign with the Knicks after tomorrow's trading deadline passes.

Last night, the Knicks denied that they have decided to sign Baker as early as tonight. And although several sources said Baker was in New York over the weekend, the Knicks also denied that Baker met with team officials.

Knicks president Isiah Thomas and Garden president Steve Mills were both in Los Angeles last weekend for the All-Star Game. Baker has told several friends in the NBA that he wants to join the Knicks.
