Ian Begley details Knicks decision to sign Cam Payne | SNY

Knicks adding another ball handler on Monday night agreeing to terms with campaign on a one-year veterans minimum deal the Knicks had also expressed interest in tus Jones recently another ball handler but Jones has interest from several teams on the market including some teams that could give him much more than the Knicks could offer their highest offer could have been two years $10 million I think other teams interested in Jones could go north of that so I don’t think the Knicks really were in there from a financial perspective so I don’t think it was Jones or Payne I think Payne just came in at a better number for them and and they knew they can get it done so also you talk about miles McBride whenever you talk about the backup guard position you might think hey this is this means McBride is gone right well no I don’t think this is a direct reflection on how the Knicks view McBride they had told people this offseason that they view McBride as an off ball guard who can hand the handle the ball when needed so it’s not necessarily a direct overlap between Mick bride and Payne Nicks now have 13 NBA players uh on guaranteed contracts here and one player on a two-way deal so there’s still room to fill out this roster as they move along in the off season obviously they still need a backup five have remained in touch with precious atua but no movement there yet
