Ian Begley: All of the veterans - John Konchar, Bruce Brown, Ochai Agbaji, James Wiseman, Drew Eubanks - are on training camp deals. They will compete for open roster spot. Knicks would have to trade player on NBA deal if they wanted to keep two vets. If not, they’ll likely have to choose between a big man and a wing. Knicks have all two-ways open. Liam Robbins will have chance to compete for 2 way. I assume Tyler Nickel gets a two way deal. Kevin McCullar Jr. has been working out with Knick players this month, remains on NYK radar.
Barry Jackson: For those asking about Gabe Vincent, there has been no Heat offer. Knicks brought him to New York earlier this week. New York signed 5 vets today to compete for 1 or 2 roster spots: Bruce Brown, John Konchar, James Wiseman, Drew Eubanks, Ochai Agbaji. Heat, which is hard-capped, added Nick Richards on this type of non-guaranteed deal but otherwise is holding onto a spot in case something needle-moving shakes free in months ahead.
Per SNY sources, guard-forward John Konchar and forward-center Drew Eubanks are among the players on New York’s radar as we draw closer to training camp. Konchar, recently waived and stretched after a trade to Minnesota, is known as a strong rebounder/defender/offensive connector who can knock down perimeter shots over his seven-year NBA career.

After the Heat picked up Nick Richards on a veteran’s minimum contract on Thursday, the list of free- agent big men became even shorter and more bleak. The most significant option for the Lakers could be Dwight Powell, the 6-10, 35-year-old big man who was teammates with Doncic for 6 ½ seasons in Dallas. Notably, Powell has played the most games as a teammate alongside Doncic (389) among the 98 players Doncic has played alongside in his eight-year NBA career. Besides Powell, the other realistic options are veteran journeymen Drew Eubanks, Bismack Biyombo and Mason Plumlee — demonstrating the lack of quality big man free-agent targets.

When media is allowed into the team’s practice facility, the players are usually running and head coach Doug Christie has said that he wants his group to be the best conditioned squad in the league. Veteran center Drew Eubanks went as far as to call this the toughest training camp he’s been a part of in his eight years in the league. “Honestly, this is probably the hardest training camp I’ve had or been a part of,” Eubanks said following Saturday’s practice. “Just going…it seems like every single day it’s been a two and a half, three hour practice where we’re getting up and down and competing. It’s been great so far, I love it.”

It seems like every single day has been a two-and-a-half-hour [or] three-hour practice where we’re getting up and down competing. “And yeah, it’s been great so far. Love it.”
