The Knicks are coming off a year where they reached the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 2000 (they lost to the Indiana Pacers in six games).
Via Keith Smith of Spotrac: “The Knicks announced the waivers of Alex Len, Garrison Mathews and Matt Ryan. It appears New York will keep Landry Shamet and Mohamed Diawara to get to the 14-player minimum. 15th spot will stay open until minimum contracts prorate enough that NY can fill under their hard cap.”
