Knicks Get Down to 15

The Knicsk, today, waived Cleanthony Early, Chasson Randle, and Lou Amundsen, and flat out cut J.P. Tokoto and Damien Inglis.  Randle seems like the only loss, and they might be able to sign him when he's once again able to play.  Meanwhile,  Early and Inglis were always though to be headed to the D League.  I've been a bit surprised by Early's lack of development.  Of course, getting shot didn't help it.

These moves also mean that for the time being the Knicks are down to two PG's, including Rose who basically missed playing camp.  It also means Bakers, N'Dour and Plumlee will provide a younger bench than we are used to seeing with the Knicks.  Baker and N'Dour showed willind D and in Baker's case tough shooting and  O in preseason, and Plumlee looks, at the very least, like 6 hard fouls, and limitless enthusiasm on a nightly basis, if no other particular skills.

With the additions of Hernangomez, Kuz and Jennings, the Knicks will be more talented than they were last year even if Rose and Noah keep getting hurt or don't bounce back.
