The New York Knicks have signed wing Dalton Knecht and waived guard Kevin McCullar Jr., according to Hoops Rumors and The New York Times. The move follows reports that the Lakers missed an opportunity with Knecht, highlighted by Yahoo Sports quoting an earlier LeBron James remark.

The Knicks secured Knecht on a two‑way contract to add depth on the wing. Rocky Top Insider describes Knecht’s deal as heading to another massive market, a detail not reflected in the Knicks announcement and leaving the exact terms of the two‑way contract unclear.

Yahoo Sports offers a grading of the signing but provides no further financial specifics. The next step for the waived McCullar Jr. and the length of Knecht’s deal remain unreported.
