With the Knicks having waived Taj Gibson, I’d imagine the deal(s) to send Alec Burks and Nerlens Noel to the Detroit Pistons might be right around the corner. That will free up the necessary cap space to sign Jalen Brunson and Jerricho Sims. – 4:53 PM

The Knicks announce they have waived Taj Gibson. Yes, the Heat need a power forward. But assuredly not a 37-year-old power forward (. . . although they did have one last season). – 4:53 PM

Knicks announce that they have waived Taj Gibson. Gibson’s cap hold was roughly $5 million for next season, so this frees up more cap space for New York. Several teams have expressed interest in the veteran center during the free agency period. pic.twitter.com/iHfeCOemt2 – 4:51 PM

More on this storyline
Ian Begley: Multiple teams have expressed interest in NYK’s Taj Gibson during FA period. Gibson’s contract for next year is fully non-guaranteed. NYK could waive Gibson to create cap space for Brunson or acquire Brunson via S&T.; His NYK teammates have roundly praised Gibson over past 3 years -via Twitter @IanBegley / July 6, 2022
Keep an eye on the Knicks potentially waiving Taj Gibson to create more cap space for a run at Brunson, league sources told HoopsHype. Gibson, a beloved player for Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau, has a $5.2 million non-guaranteed salary for next season. -via HoopsHype / June 24, 2022
Fred Katz: Tom Thibodeau was asked if Obi Toppin reminds him of any throwback players. Gave a long answer about how positive of a guy Toppin is, then landed on one person whose personality and energy he equated to Toppin’s: Taj Gibson. If you know Thibs, this is most definitely high praise -via Twitter @FredKatz / April 9, 2022
