Knicks Eye Richards If Heat Release Him | New York Knicks News

Nick Richards might still be available to the Knicks after signing a one-year, non-guaranteed deal with the Heat — and New York is primed to pounce. With two roster spots open and a glaring frontcourt void following the losses of Mitchell Robinson and Ariel Hukporti, the Knicks have the flexibility to swoop in if Richards doesn’t make the Heat’s opening night roster. The 27-year-old, who’s averaged double-digit rebounds for four straight seasons, is frustrated by being passed over and eager to prove doubters wrong — making him a compelling, low-risk upgrade behind Towns and Drummond. The Knicks can afford to wait and watch, knowing they’re in a strong position to land him if Miami cuts him loose.
