The Knicks are interested in Delonte West, according to ESPNNewYork.com's Ian Begley, who reports that the free agent guard's representatives have been in discussion with the team.
The 30-year-old West did not play in the NBA last season, with his last run in the league coming on a 44-game stint with the Mavericks in 2011/12. He averaged 9.6 PPG during that stretch, his highest in three years.
West is an eight-year veteran with significant baggage off the court, and New York is just in the preliminary stages of discussion. Conversely, fellow ESPNNY.com scribe Jared Zwerling tweeted it's "highly unlikely" the Knicks sign West, as they're searching for a big man.
