Darren Collison has had a good season with the Kings, but has lost strength in the fabric of the team with the arrival of Rajon Rondo. At Sacramento he still has another year on contract and some franchises are starting to show fascination with this Collison development and are very interested in a transfer.
The one team intent in getting the point guard, the New York Knicks. The team is trying to strengthen this position based on new talent. Now, the rumor that arose at the time with Jeff Teague, the Hawks’ starting point guard, will be replaced with a quality name: Darren Collison.
Ian Begley talked about the possible interest of the New Yorkers. The Knicks will have a salary cap of about $ 18 million in July to strengthen that position, but that cap could grow quite large.
Thus, the economic capacity to reinforce New York could be extended up to 30 million, as is expected, Arron Afflalo and Derrick Williams declined the player options on contracts for next season, which is estimated at 8 and 4.6 million dollars respectively.
What is not clear is if the Knicks have enough assets on their staff to negotiate the transfer of Collison, taking a look at the New York team roster the Kings might have a hard time reaching an agreement.
A quality point guard
Collison, the 28 year old point guard from California, has already closed his seventh season in the NBA and still he cannot seem to find an accommodation in a franchise for a set career. He has stepped already in 5 different teams.
This year, in his second year with the Kings, he has averaged 14 points and 4.3 assists in 30 minutes, scoring 40.1% of his triple attempts and losing just 1.8 balls in turnovers. But sharing the season with Rondo has not been easy for the player. The movements that would be made for the Knicks to grab a quality point guard can seriously affect the Spanish, Jose Manuel Calderon future in the franchise, this transfer would cut some wasted minutes in the court and an overall upgrade for the team.
