The New York Knicks have strengthened again before the playoffs. Luca Vildoza is moving from Saski Baskonia to the Big Apple.
According to Adrian Wojnaowski, the 25-year-old has moved from ESPN agreed with the Knicks on a four-year contract for $ 13.6 million, however, according to Ian Begley (CUT) not guaranteed.
The Knicks are anticipating the upcoming Free Agency and can take a closer look at the point guard for the rest of the season and also at the Olympic Games in Tokyo, as the guarantee date is only after the Olympics. The Basques have now agreed on a buyout with the Argentine.
According to Wojnarowski, in addition to the Knicks, there was also a lot of interest in the playmaker, who led Baskonia to the ACB title in 2020 and was named Finals MVP. It is unclear whether Vildoza will still play for the Knicks this season, as he still has to go through immigration, the medical test and the corona protocols.
To make way for Vildoza, the Knicks will demote Jared Harper to a two-way player. The gaucho was part of the Argentine team, which, led by Luis Scola and Facundo Campazzo, won the silver medal at the World Cup in China.
