Knicks Free Agency

The Knicks announced that Jeremy Lin and Steve Novak have been awarded Bird/Early Bird Rights. This means that they will not contribute to the Knicks' salary cap this season. This is fantastic, as the Knicks can now spend that extra money elsewhere to improve the team. Lin, Novak, and Landry Fields are expected to be retained at a collective price of $15 million, or $5,000,000 each.
