JULY 11TH: The Knicks have reached an agreement with unrestricted free agent Louis Amundson, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports (Twitter link). It is a one-year, $1.65MM arrangement, adds the Newsday scribe.
Amundson appeared in 41 games for New York last season, averaging 6.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 20.9 minutes per contest, with a slash line of .432/.000/.463. His career numbers through nine NBA campaigns are 3.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 0.4 assists, with a shooting line of .478/.000/.441.
The 32-year-old had previously indicated that he would consider playing in Europe if he wasn’t re-signed by New York. “I would like to play. I’ve been in this league, so I know what that’s like,” Amundson said. “So, I think going overseas would be a new experience for me I think I’d enjoy. I’d get an opportunity to play. So yeah, everything’s on the table.’’
SWEET LOU…!
IN THE BUILDIN
Go get ALEXIS, KNICK NATION, WE BACK..!
Alex kirk man.. Hes a good center
He’s better than lou amundson
Two spots left for Wear and Kirk? I say save the 2.8 or tell Shev take it or leave it.
I think the last few guys should be Ledo and Antetokounmpo, and Shved is ok, but I think they need one more big body, so Kirk or the big Ukranian dude make sense too.
Lou amundson hustles, plays d and rebounds..can flow on the triangle great passer and veteran support. The “Nets get bargnani”
GLAD LOU IS BACK
