The New York Knicks appear intent on reconstructing the prime Chicago Bulls of the past several years.
According to Marc Berman of the New York Post, Joakim Noah is the Knicks’ primary target in free agency as they search for a center.
Berman characterizes the Knicks as “desperate” for a starting center to complete a lineup that includes Carmelo Anthony, Kristaps Porzingis, and now Derrick Rose.
Noah sounds likely to leave Chicago once free agency opens up. Rose has already said that he will try to recruit Noah to join him in New York, and with that in mind, they may prove to be an appealing option for the veteran big man. However, it sounds like they will have competition from both Noah’s former coach and a team prepared to give him a significant payday this summer.
