Knicks Eye Veteran Jonas Valanciunas | New York Knicks News

Jonas Valančiūnas, the veteran big man off the Nuggets’ roster, is hitting free agency—and the Knicks are suddenly a major contender. At 34, he’s still a dominant rebounder and low-post scorer with 12.8 PPG and 9 RPG over 14 seasons. Already signed Andre Drummond, the Knicks could use Valančiūnas as a complementary, physical backup. The connection? Knicks president Leon Rose once represented Valančiūnas as an agent, giving New York a unique edge. With training camp looming and a need for frontcourt depth, Valančiūnas’ fit—and past interest—makes the Knicks a smart, logical landing spot.
