Jason Kidd’s retirement opens up $3.1 million in cap space next season and means the Knicks must add another capable point guard.
The Knicks could actually be shopping for two point guards depending on what happens with 35-year-old Pablo Prigioni, a restricted free agent.
“Of course I would like to return,” he told ESPNNewYork.com. “I really enjoyed this year. It was a great experience for me and my family. My first option is to play in NBA, but I’m open to hearing and watching my options. We will see.”
Possible free agent additions at the point include Aaron Brooks (team option with the Houston Rockets), Nate Robinson of the Chicago Bulls, Will Bynum of the Detroit Pistons and A.J. Price of the Washington Wizards.
The Knicks also own the No. 24 pick in the draft.
Miami’s Shane Larkin won’t work out for the Knicks, his agent told SNY.tv.
Other potential options with that pick include Allen Crabbe of California, Lorenzo Brown of N.C. State, Pierre Jackson of Baylor, Nate Wolters of South Dakota State and Germany’s Dennis Schroeder.
