The long Joakim Noah–Knicks standoff has finally come to a close.
Noah signed a four-year, $72 million deal back in 2016. After countless rumors regarding his future, the team ultimately pulled the plug, waiving him on Saturday. New York can now spread out the remaining $37.8 million on his contract over the next three seasons.
