Knicks’ Precious Achiuwa decision could have Isaiah Hartenstein implications
NY Post
The Knicks picked up the contract option of one big man and sent another one into unrestricted free agency.
Precious Achiuwa, who served as a capable frontcourt injury replacement last season, didn’t receive a qualifying offer from the Knicks by Saturday’s deadline, a source confirmed.
The move doesn’t completely rule out Achiuwa re-signing in the summer, but the Knicks gave up their matching rights.
It would be a surprise if Achiuwa comes back.
It was also a potential symbol that the Knicks are still pursuing Isaiah Hartenstein.
Giving Achuiwa the $6.3 million qualifying offer would’ve hurt the team’s financial flexibility toward re-signing Hartenstein.
Just to get the formalities out of the way, Juan Soto officially declined the qualifying offer by Tuesday’s deadline.
