I'll say that I don't think any other team in the league would sign him to their D league roster if the Knicks don't, but we know they will.
the market for JR was about 6.5 mill per for 4 yrs..he took about a mill less to play on a contender, play in a big market, and get his brother an invitation to camp and at the very least, a d league spot.. I believe JR is a CAA client, which everybody that matters on the knicks is signed to CAA so im not surprise to see this kid take up a roster spot even though he's no where close to NBA material..
Yeah that is obvious. They are probably secretly hoping he at least fits in enough to justify a roster spot, even if he's clearly not as good as someone who gets cut, but like everyone has said, he is so out of place on the court that there is no way anyone could justify giving him a roster spot, so he will be on the d league team even though he doesn't belong there either.
