The Knicks added some shooting to their roster, by picking up Steve Novak off the waiver wire. Per the NY Daily News: “The Knicks claimed Steve Novak off waivers to give them a 6-foot-10 outside shooting power forward. Novak, released by the Spurs, could see spot minutes since Mike D’Antoni wanted to add a ‘stretch 4′ to help open the court. The Knicks still have their $2.5 million exception to add another player and it not out of the question that they’ll save that for one of several players playing (stuck) in China.”

Carmelo Anthony Is Tired Of Hearing That He Does Not Play Defense
