Having spent $900,000 of their $4.9M mid-level exception to free up second-round pick Maclej Lampe, Camp Cablevision is expected to bestow two-plus years guaranteed on Deke to compensate him for what he gives up ($10M) in his Nets settlement. </div> http://www.nypost.com/sports/knicks/40937.htm it appears the swamp's loss is the apple's gain
This is a great fit for the Knicks if he signs. He's a decent rebounder and is still a great defender for a few minutes at a time, this allows Thomas to play some PF.
Another Georgetown Hoya center on the Knicks. It makes sense for the Knicks to get Mutombo, but I would like to see him play for a contender instead as a backup center. Boston or New Orleans would be a great choice for Deke.
