Ian Begley elaborates on Jeremy Sochan signing to the Knicks: Knicks targeted Jeremy Sochan at deadline… One iteration was Sochan-Yabusele deal. So NYK essentially gets Jose Alvarado & Sochan at trade deadline… Knicks feel like they have 15 players they are comfortable having on the court
Ian Begley elaborated on the Jeremy Sochan signing the Knicks picked up after his release from the Spurs:
Knicks do not have to make a corresponding move to add Jeremy Sochan. They have a roster spot available. Thanks to salary shed at trade deadline, they also have enough money to sign Sochan to a vet min deal. Knicks & Spurs talked Sochan-Yabusele deal prior to deadline but they did not much traction. Knicks wouldn’t have been able to sign Sochan now if they hadn’t shed salary at the trade deadline. ESPN first reported Sochan signing.
Jeremy Sochan will sign with Knicks for rest of season deal on vet minimum, league sources said.
Knicks targeted Jeremy Sochan at deadline, league sources said. One iteration was Sochan-Yabusele deal. So NYK essentially gets Jose Alvarado & 22-year-old Sochan at trade deadline. Sochan gives Knicks depth up front. Club is also high on Sochan’s defensive versatility and ball-handling, per sources. With Sochan on roster, Knicks feel like they have 15 players they are comfortable having on the court, league sources say
