October 9: The Bulls have officially signed and waived Knox, per NBA.com’s transaction log.
October 8: Free agent forward Kevin Knox has reached an agreement with the Bulls, league sources tell Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link).
Scotto doesn’t offer any specifics about the deal, but it’s likely an Exhibit 10 contract designed to get Knox to Chicago’s G League affiliate. If so, it would make him eligible to earn a bonus worth up to $85,300 if he spends at least 60 days with the Windy City Bulls.
Knox played a portion of last season in the G League, averaging 25.3 points and 8.8 rebounds in 12 regular season games with Golden State’s affiliate in Santa Cruz. The 26-year-old joined the Warriors on a pair of 10-day contracts in February and March and was signed for the remainder of the season. He saw limited playing time in 14 games.
Knox spent three-plus seasons with New York after being selected with the ninth pick in the 2018 draft, but he has bounced around the league since then. He was traded to Atlanta in January of 2022, signed with Detroit that summer and was shipped to Portland at the 2023 deadline. He returned to Detroit as a free agent in November of 2023, then was traded to Utah at the 2024 deadline.
He has appeared in 320 games during his seven NBA seasons with career averages of 7.3 points and 2.8 rebounds per night and .393/.340/.723 shooting numbers.
The Bulls only have 19 players on their roster, two short of the offseason limit, so another move won’t be necessary before finalizing Knox’s contract.
Tank commander coming in. Give him high minutes and get a good draft pick. I’d even rather have this guy than Giddey
……
Why do they keep signing him. All he wants is an NBA paycheck. Only does enough to get one. Wasted talent …….. when will the NBA learn.
It’s a g league contract broski….
It’s one of the worst Knicks draft picks. I’m not sure who’s worse, Knox or Ntlikina. Especially considering who they passed over
Frederic Weis has entered the conversation as the worst Knicks draft pick ever…
Vince Carter has just jumped over Weis and the conversation
Never played a game in NBA. Not the worst.
Ntilikina and Knox were top 10 picks. Weiss was the 15th pick. Terrible pick still.
Exactly my point …. I wouldn’t pay him to be a ball boy.
He’s still got a couple years before he’s entitled to full benefits
Exactly my point ……
The Bulls only have 15 guys like him and 1 C, 1 PF , 3 PG’s so they have a 5 deep F rotation now. You can never have enough lame on your team.
One of those guys that is a n NBA player on a bad team. He has talent he just never puts all of it together
I guess it is lucky for him then that he signed w the Bulls!
This dude keeps getting chances and better players are not in the league!
Now that was quick. …….. seriously why does this even happen.
