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

The Knicks say they have waived Taj Gibson. – 4:52 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/iHfeCOemt24:51 PM
