Oh what a great catch for the Knicks! Not very active on the first day of Free Agency, the leaders of the Big Apple did a double blow yesterday by sending Obi Toppin to the Pacers against two rounds of Draft… and by seeking Donte DiVincenzo on the free agent market. Clever addition!
Defense, long shots, intensity and offensive rebounds, that’s what the back will be able to bring to New York. After three seasons in Milwaukee, crowned with the NBA title in 2021, DDV had ridden much further southwest, towards Sacramento then Golden State last season. Among the most scrutinized free agents, it is therefore at Madison Square Garden that he will bring his hustle next season and for the next four.
Free agent G Donte DiVincenzo has agreed on a four-year, $50 million contract with the New York Knicks, Jason Glushon of @GlushonSM tells ESPN.

With his 9.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists last season off the bench with the Warriors, Donte is the assurance of having an ultimate role player, sometimes capable of becoming an X factor. on both sides of the field. A perfect complement on the back lines, which he will frequent – this is the salt of this signing – alongside his two colleagues from Villanova (Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart), with whom he won the NCAA Final Four in 2018. Squad!

Smart signing for the Knicks, who already have a nice back line with Brunson, Barrett, Hart and Donte. now remains to manage the cases Quickley, Grimes and… Evan Fournier, who would undoubtedly like to play again one day in the NBA, and if possible elsewhere than in New York.
