The Knicks may be in the driver’s seat when it comes to landing Warriors point guard Donte DiVincenzo in free agency, per C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle.
DiVincenzo has been linked to the Knicks by several other outlets as well — with some saying he fully intends to join former Villanova products and fellow guards Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson in New York.
DiVincenzo declined his player option to become an unrestricted free agent. The Warriors have his Non-Bird Rights, limiting how much they can pay him.
Meanwhile, the Knicks are able to use the full mid-level exception after Hart opted into his $12.9 million contract. As an aside, Hart is expected to discuss a contract extension with the organization.
The Knicks are said to be looking to add some perimeter shooting and playmaking, which just happen to be DiVincenzo’s strengths.
