<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">After failing to persuade him to head to Europe for a year, the Knicks yesterday offered rookie guard Demetris Nichols a one-year non-guaranteed minimum contract ($427,000) to retain his rights yesterday. Nichols is expected to sign and be at training camp Oct. 1.</div> Source: New York Post This was long overdue. Nichols was too impressive in summer league. Plus it wouldn't make sense to trade a 2008 second round pick to acquire him and not keep him. The only question is: With 17 players on the Knicks with contracts, who stays and who goes. Will Isiah use the expiring contracts of Jones and Dickau?
