The New York Knicks have decided that they don’t want recently waived ex-Rockets player Ty Lawson, according to Marc Berman of the New York Post:
The Knicks have had internal discussions about point guard Ty Lawson, who was waived by the Rockets on Tuesday, but have decided not to make a play, according to an NBA source.
Lawson has been linked to the Knicks for some time now, as he was a star in Denver(prior to all the off-court issues), and the Knicks have a bit of a hole at the point guard position.
Instead of Lawson, the Knicks may be looking at 24-year-old point guard Ray McCallum, according to Berman:
The Knicks also are eyeing point guard Ray McCallum, waived Monday by the Spurs to make room for Andre Miller after McCallum had shown some promise this season.
A third player that the Knicks have looked at is Tony Wroten:
Also on their radar is former 76ers point guard Tony Wroten, who was waived in January and hasn’t been signed. The Post recently reported the Knicks didn’t view Wroten as someone who would crack the rotation, so they passed. However, the Knicks, after falling to 13th place, are more in developmental mode now. Interim coach Kurt Rambis said Monday they are possibly looking for a young player to finish out the season and bring back to summer league.
