The New York Bulls, ahem, we mean Knicks, are making some big moves.
The Knicks likely will sign Chicago Bulls center and soon-to-be free agent Joakim Noah to a deal worth around $18 million per year, sources told The Washington Post’s Tim Bontemps late Wednesday night. The projected length of the deal and exact dollar amounts have not been reported.
While free agency doesn’t officially begin until Friday, other NBA teams also appear to believe Noah will join former teammate Derrick Rose in New York.
Have heard the same lament from multiple interested teams tonight: They see New York as a big favorite to land Joakim Noah in free agency.

The phrasing tends to be the same from every team we ask with Joakim Noah interest: We don't have a chance because the Knicks are his choice

Noah only played in 29 games last season due to injuries. He averaged 4.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game during his shortened 2015-16 campaign.
