Knicks Will Have Toure Murry In Training Camp After PG Turns Down Miami’s Offer

The Miami Heat made a strong push for Toure Murry, but the D-League Stud and Summer League  Standout will be joining the New York Knicks in training camp in an attempt to win a roster spot. Murry looked very good in Vegas, and has produced throughout his career (at the lower levels), but has an uphill battle ahead of him as the Knicks already have several guards under contract. One person Murry will be competing with is Chris Smith, who signed with the Knicks on a non-guaranteed contract with a training camp invite this week. Murry also has to compete with free agent guards such as Rip Hamilton (who the Knicks might have interest in). And of course, Murry also needs to compete with bigger players, because the Knicks only have one roster spot left and definitely need more depth in the frontcourt. It’s always nice to keep somebody away from the Heat, and Murry has promise, but whether he makes the team remains to be seen

Rip Hamilton to New York? Knicks Might Have Interest

Veteran SG Richard “Rip” Hamilton is still a free agent, and it appears that the Knicks might be interested. Hamilton brings veteran leadership and a championship pedigree to the table, and his skill set, although diminished, would still provide a boost to the roster. However, the Knicks already have a ton of guards on the roster, so unless this is insurance for J.R. Smith’s knee, I don’t know how necessary it is to sign Hamilton. It seems more logical to give the final roster spot to a big man, but stay tuned. -Tommy Rothman

The Knicks gave Point Guard Chris Smith a training camp invite (which is essentially a non-guaranteed contract) and will take a look at the younger brother of their star sixth man J.R. Smith in October. Chris Smith was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Louisville before last season, but was cut after suffering a knee injury before the season started. Now, Chris has another chance.

Tracy McGrady has announced his retirement from the NBA. While T-Mac’s best days came in Orlando and Houston, Knicks fans will remember him for a fun 2-month stretch during which he brought excitement to the Garden (sound familiar?) after coming over in a trade with the Rockets during “The Dark Days”. McGrady had a great career, but it’s hard not to wonder what could have been if he had stayed healthy.

Knicks’ New Alternate Jersey?

Remember when Iman Shumpert posted THIS photo on his Instagram a couple months ago? According to sources, it appears that the Knicks could make this orange-and-white jersey their new alternate look for this coming season. Not quite as Orange as the Christmas jerseys from last year, but a nice fiery contrast to the white-and-blue looks they usually go with. So… what do YOU guys think of this look? -Tommy

JR Smith has reportedly been cruising around the streets of New York in an armored vehicle worth over 450,000 dollars. It is never safe to go inside the mind of JR Smith, but if I had to guess, i would say that Smith has realized how badly he needs a crash-proof car. Good to see he learned at least ONE lesson from Jason Kidd last season.
